Shatrughan Sinha Wants Ban On Non-Veg, Praises UCC

Actor-politician MP Shatrughan Sinha praised the Uttarakhand government for becoming the first state to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). However, he also pointed out the loopholes in the UCC that prevent the government from imposing the law nationwide.

Referring to the non-veg ban, MP said that it would be very challenging for the government to impose a ban on non-veg in certain parts of the country.

While speaking to news agency ANI, TMC leader Shatrughan Sinha said, “What happened in Uttarakhand, I would say that as a nation, we must acknowledge it as necessary. A Uniform Civil Code (UCC) should indeed be implemented and it is something that all citizens of the country would agree upon. However, there are many fine prints and complexities in this matter. It is important to address the concerns of various communities and groups. It cannot be that suddenly, one day, it is imposed in a way that people feel it’s just for votes or elections.”

Further, Sinha added, “In some places, beef is banned, and I agree. I think non-veg should be banned, but that’s just my opinion. In some regions, beef is banned, while in others, it is not. Now, take the Northeast, for example… A friend of mine once said there it’s ‘yummy,’ while in North India it’s ‘mummy.’ This kind of inconsistency cannot continue. For the UCC, there needs to be an all-party meeting to gather everyone’s opinion. It should not be viewed from an election perspective.”
