During the 'Janjati Sanskritik Samagam' in New Delhi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted that the rights of tribal communities will remain intact under the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC). He highlighted the constitutional guarantee that allows individuals to practice their original faith and culture, urging that no one should be coerced into converting to another religion. Shah addressed the misconceptions surrounding the UCC, which some claim threatens tribal traditions and customs. He stated, "A conspiracy is being spread that the UCC will deprive tribal people of their culture, traditions, customs, and way of life." He reassured the audience that under the Narendra Modi government, no restrictions would be placed on tribal individuals or communities regarding their religious practices. The event, organized by Janjati Suraksha Manch, was also a tribute to Birsa Munda, a revered figure among tribal populations, marking his 150th birth anniversary. Shah's comments aim to reinforce the government's commitment to protecting tribal rights while promoting a uniform legal framework.
