'BJP to bring UCC in 6 months': Amit Shah pitches comman civil law in Bengal

UCC is a proposal to have one common set of personal laws for all citizens in India, covering marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption, regardless of religion. It aims to ensure equality before law and promote national integration by replacing religion-based personal laws with a uniform legal framework.
