Chief Minister Dhami said, "The government will constitute a committee of jurists, retirees, eminent persons of the society and other stakeholders immediately after its swearing-in. Which will prepare a draft uniform civil code for Uttarakhand. The scope of this Uniform Civil Code is a uniform law for all people on matters such as marriage, divorce, real estate and inheritance irrespective of the religion they believe in. The Uniform Civil Code will be an important step in fulfilling the dreams of the framers of the Constitution and will enthuse the spirit of the Constitution. It will also be an effective decision regarding Article 44 of the Indian Constitution. Which presents the concept of a uniform civil code for all citizens of India. The Supreme Court has also not only insisted on its implementation from time to time but has also expressed displeasure over not constantly taking steps in this direction.''
