During Mahakumbh 2025, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami compared the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) with the spirit of Mahakumbh, emphasizing its role in ensuring equal rights for all. He stated that just as Mahakumbh promotes equality, UCC eliminates discrimination and provides uniform legal provisions for all citizens.
Key Provisions of UCC
- Mandatory marriage registration for legal validation.
- Divorce only through court orders, strengthening women’s rights.
Uttarakhand: A Spiritual and Social Reform Hub
CM Dhami highlighted that implementing UCC in Uttarakhand was challenging but crucial for promoting equality and uniformity. Given that millions of devotees visit Char Dham, Haridwar, and other spiritual sites, ensuring equal rights and responsibilities in society was essential.
He also underscored that Mahakumbh is not just a religious event, but a symbol of Indian culture, unity, and harmony. Just like the festival brings millions together, UCC reinforces the idea that every citizen is an integral part of the nation.
