Every caste has its own rights and its own method: Mamata on UCC

CM Mamata Banerjee voiced her discontent over an incident where Aadhar cards were allegedly blocked, stating that it seemed like a conspiracy to undermine Bengal's bank loan and Lakshmi Bhandar scheme. During her address, she questioned the BJP's advocacy for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), asserting that diverse communities, including Muslims, tribals, Sikhs, and Christians, have their own marriage customs and rights. 

CM Mamata Banerjee said that 'BJP wants to bring UCC. Now tell me, does marriage happen among Muslims, tribals, Sikhs and Christians as it happens among Hindus? Every caste has its own rights and its own method'. She emphasized the uniqueness of each caste's traditions and raised concerns about the BJP's vision of one nation, one election, questioning its implications on potential President's rule.

Mamata Banerjee vehemently opposed the linking of Bengal's schemes to the Aadhaar card, asserting that her government would resist any such attempts. Expressing her commitment to fight against the proposed UCC and one nation, one election concepts, she criticized the BJP for allegedly targeting Bengal's schemes. The Chief Minister viewed the incident of blocking Aadhar cards as part of a larger conspiracy to dismantle the state's welfare programs.

The incident has sparked political tensions, with Mamata Banerjee positioning herself against the BJP's proposals and actions. The dispute revolves around the potential encroachment on Bengal's autonomy and the clash between the state's schemes and the BJP's national agenda.
