NEW DELHI: Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said that “almost all” pending ideological tasks including the abrogation of Article 370 have been completed by the Centre and it would continue on the same path in its third tenure.
The senior BJP leader said this while inaugurating the Hindu Spiritual and Service Fair, also known as ‘Hindu Adhyatmik Seva Mela’, at the Gujarat University grounds in Ahmedabad.
There was a time when Hindus hesitated to disclose their identity in their own country, he claimed, while adding that in 10 years, the situation has changed. Now, almost all the pending works as per our ideology have been completed, be it the abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, abolition of triple talaq and implementation of Uniform Civil Code (UCC), he said.
Notably, while the UCC has not been implemented at the national level, BJP-ruled Uttarakhand has introduced it and Shah had told the Rajya Sabha last month that it would be implemented in all the states. While the Modi government completed these unfinished works in 10 years, earlier governments had not touched them for 70 years, Shah further said in his speech here.
The Modi government would continue in the same direction in its third tenure, he added. He also noted that it was a matter of pride that “170 countries accepted yoga”.
