He emphasized that TIPRA Motha’s primary objective is to ensure the constitutional rights of the people, and until that goal is achieved, they are unwilling to be part of the government.
Regarding the proposal for a Uniform Civil Code in India, aimed at replacing personal laws based on religions, customs, and traditions with a common law for all citizens, Pradyot did not object but preferred to reserve his comments until the draft is published by the government.
He expressed hope that the proposed draft for the Uniform Civil Code will take care of the rights of women, indigenous people, and their customary laws.
