"There are committees being formed in different states regarding this. Even we are looking into it and studying its aspects," he said.
Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai today said that the state government is "very seriously" mulling the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code -- a contentious issue among Muslims because it will do away with religion-specific laws. While addressing party workers in the Shivamogga district, he said that the state must have it.
"We are thinking very seriously about one of the main manifesto points of BJP on the all India level, that is the Uniform Civil Code. There are committees being formed in different states regarding this. Even we are looking into it and studying its aspects. We feel it is important to implement it," he said.
On probing the voters' list revision controversy, Mr Bommai said that the investigation will be carried out in an impartial manner and any officer, or organisation, or agency found guilty will be punished.
Talking to reporters after garlanding the statue of Dr BR Ambedkar on the occasion of Constitution Day here on Saturday, he said "several persons are already arrested in this connection and the inquiry of officials is on. The Election Commission of India has decided to revise the voters' list where deletion of names has occurred, and the government will welcome it".
