India, Nov. 27 -- Asserting that 'one country, one law' is the need of the hour, senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Wednesday said a uniform civil code is for the entire country and not aimed at any particular community.

He said the uniform civil code is a necessity for strengthening the constitutional spirit.

Naqvi said 'Amrit Kaal' of Independence is an opportunity to assimilate and adopt the Directive Principles of the Constitution on the uniform civil code.

"The uniform civil code is for the entire country, not for any particular community. 'One country, one law' is the need of the hour," the former minority affairs minister said.
