Concluding the discussion in the Rajya Sabha on the 75 years of adoption of the Constitution, Amit Shah also lashed out at Congress over its allegations concerning Electronic Voting Machines (EVM), saying some of those who made complaints about outcome in Maharashtra celebrated it in Jharkhand, where JMM-led INDIA bloc won the assembly elections.
He asked why UCC has not been implemented yet.
“Why hasn’t UCC come yet? It didn’t come because after the Constituent Assembly was concluded and elections were over, the country’s first PM Nehruji introduced Muslim Personal Law, not UCC.

I want to ask the Congress party in this House that in a secular nation, should there be a common law for every religion or not? Why do they support the Muslim Personal Law? There can be no bigger political manoeuvre than this… They started appeasement right there by introducing the Muslim Personal Law…You cannot bring the UCC because you cannot rise above the politics of appeasement. In Uttarakhand, our (BJP) government has implemented the Uniform Civil Code in the state,” he said.

Shah lashed out at Congress over some of the constitutional amendments made during the party rule in the past.
“The 39th Amendment in the Constitution crossed all the limits. On August 10, 1975, was a black day. Indira Gandhi’s elections were declared null and void by the Allahabad High Court.
After they lose, they roam around with EVMs. They say the EVMs defeated them…When they lose they blame the EVMs”.-TIN Bureau
