PM Modi calls for ‘secular civil code’, ‘one nation one election’ in 11th I-Day address
NEW DELHI, Aug 15 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday made an unequivocal pitch for a uniform civil code in the country, asserting that a “secular civil code” in place of the existing “communal” one is the need of the hour.
In his 11th straight address to the nation, his third term’s first, from the ramparts of the Red Fort on Independence Day, Modi also pushed forcefully for ‘one nation one election’.
Frequent elections are an “obstacle” in the country’s growth, and every scheme is seen as a consequence of one poll or another happening every few months, he said in his speech on India’s 78th Independence Day.
