BJP Leader Anurag Thakur Reiterates Push for Uniform Civil Code

BJP Member of Parliament Anurag Thakur reiterated the party's commitment to implementing a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and curbing illegal infiltration ^[1].

These priorities signal the party's intent to synchronize personal laws across different religions and strengthen national security along the eastern borders. The push for a UCC remains a central pillar of the BJP's legal and social agenda, while border security is framed as essential for protecting the Northeast [2, 3].

Thakur discussed the political climate in West Bengal, focusing on the necessity of preventing anti-social activities and illegal crossings. He said the importance of border-fencing initiatives is to stabilize the region [1, 2].

Supporting this security focus, Sarma, a senior BJP leader, addressed the logistics of securing the frontier. "Handing over land to the BSF for border fencing is a historic step that will help curb infiltration and protect the Northeast," Sarma said ^[2].

Parallel to security efforts, the party is intensifying its focus on the UCC. Samik Bhattacharya, the West Bengal BJP President, said that the legal framework is a priority for the party's leadership ^[3].

"The Uniform Civil Code remains a core commitment of the BJP and will be fast-tracked," Bhattacharya said ^[3].

Thakur and other party officials framed these goals as necessary steps to ensure national integrity and legal uniformity. The effort to fast-track the UCC is intended to replace fragmented personal laws with a single set of rules for all citizens, regardless of religion [1, 3].
