Himanta promises UCC if he becomes CM again
The Assam assembly on Thursday passed a bill to ban polygamy, making it an offence, which may lead to a maximum of 10 years of imprisonment, barring some exceptions.
It kept people belonging to the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category and areas under the Sixth Schedule out of the purview of the legislation.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) will be implemented in Assam if he becomes the CM again after the assembly polls next year.
