Earlier, in an exclusive interview with ANI, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal said that "it is the need of the hour that a law should be made by uniting and including all the people of the country and the Supreme Court has also endorsed many of its verdicts". 

The union minister further said that the BJP would get cross-party support for the UCC.

"We have a full majority in Rajya Sabha and I think there are many leaders from other parties who want that the country should unite. I think many parties will support BJP on Uniform Civil Code. We will get cross-party support for this," the minister said.
