"If Vikramaditya Singh has said this, it means that he listened to his conscience and expressed it," former Himachal Chief Minister Jairam Thakur said.
Former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister and BJP leader Jairam Thakur welcomed Himachal Pradesh PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh's support to the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) saying that he listened to his conscience and expressed it.
"If Vikramaditya Singh has said this, it means that he listened to his conscience and expressed it," Mr Thakur said adding that a lot of people from different political parties and ideologies support the UCC.
"When talks are held about UCC, the inner voices of a lot of people from different political parties and ideologies tell them that if this decision will be taken, it will be in the interest of the nation and society. We have always demanded that the law should be the same for all," he said.
In a deviation from the Congress' stand on UCC, Himachal Pradesh PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh said that the party will be supporting UCC whenever it comes and that the Congress has always contributed towards taking unity and integrity forward.
