Assam CM urges nationwide UCC, visits Harish Dwivedi home
In short
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma called for a nationwide Uniform Civil Code. He said Muslim women are hurt most by the absence of such a code. He also visited Uttar Pradesh and offered condolences at BJP leader Harish Dwivedi’s home.
This matters because it keeps the UCC debate in the political spotlight. The reporting does not say whether the government will act on his call or when.
