Uniform Civil Code
The prime minister sought support from all political parties for a uniform civil code, saying the move would reflect the spirit of the constitution. "A secular civil code in the country is the need of the hour," he said.
Describing the current civil code as a "community civil code", the prime minister said it encourages discrimination on religious grounds. "I say there is a need for India to have a secular civil code. "We have lived for 75 years with a communal civil code. We must now move towards a secular civil code. Only then will discrimination based on religion end," he said.
One nation, one choice
Stating that frequent elections in the country are hindering the country's progress, Prime Minister Modi also sought to garner support for the One Nation, One Election (ONOE) programme. “Today, linking every program with elections has become a habit since elections are held every few months in the country. The media often describe these projects as announced because of the elections," said the Prime Minister.
New blood in politics
One million youth with no political background will become public representatives, Prime Minister Modi has promised. "His parents, brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, nephews have never been in politics for a generation... such young talent, new blood And, whether for panchayat, nagarpalika, zilla parishad, Vidhan Sabha or . Lok Sabha. .. There should not be a political history of this family... to remove the caste system and dynastic politics,” he said.
Afraid of the corrupt
"I want to create fear in the minds of the corrupt to end the tradition of looting the common man," PM Modi said while criticizing the "mai-baap" culture that compels citizens to call for every need. "Every citizen of this country has been disturbed by the termite of corruption, I know that I have to pay the price for this battle, my prestige may be in danger, but national interests are more important than personal prestige," he said . Safety of women
The Prime Minister has called for harsher punishment for those who commit crimes against women. His comments come amid widespread anger and protests following the rape and murder of a doctor at a Kolkata hospital. "Crimes against women should be investigated at the earliest, those involved in demonic acts should be severely punished at the earliest, this is necessary to build trust in the society," he said.
The Hindus of Bangladesh
