Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar NEW DELHI: As Uttarakhand implemented UCC on Monday, vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar said he hoped it would only be a matter of time before the entire country adopted a similar legislation.He also questioned those opposing the UCC. “Some people, I would say out of ignorance, are criticising it. How can we criticise something which is a mandate of the Indian Constitution? Something that has to bring about gender equality. Why we oppose it?” Dhankhar asked. For political gain, people don’t hesitate to forsake nationalism,, he said while addressing a fresh batch of participants in the Rajya Sabha internship programme.He said, “One state has done it and I am sure it will only be a matter of time before the entire country adopts similar legislation.”
