Question

Which one of the following political parties wants full territorial and political integration of Jammu and Kashmir with India and also a common Civil Code for all people living in the country irrespective of religion and ban on religious conversions?
A) Indian National congress
B) Bharatiya Janata Party
C) Bahujan Samaj Party
D) Nationalist Congress Party

Answer 1

Hint:1) This party gets inspiration from India’s ancient culture and values.
2) It has also attempted to achieve support from lower castes, by appointing several lower-caste members to prominent party positions.

Complete answer:
A) When the Modi government was looking for a political integration of India with Jammu and Kashmir, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad condemned the government’s proposal on Article 370, abrogating the special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
B) The Bharatiya Janata Party strongly advocated the need for a uniform civil code in the country, as this will result in a secular country. Modi’s government also took a stand for a political integration between India and Jammu and Kashmir.
C) The Bahujan Samaj Party's objection was that the common civil code Bill was part of the 'vote capturing politics' and, therefore, bound to create ill-will and hatred among the different sections of Indian society.
D) The Nationalist Congress Party said it doesn't uphold the burden of a uniform common code and will attempt for the sanctioning of the Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill.

Thus,Option (B) Bharatiya Janata party is the Correct Answer.

Note:1. Article 370 of the Indian constitution gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, giving them the ability to have a different constitution, a state banner and self-sufficiency over the inward organization of the state.
2. According to Targeted violence bill, if the government sees that communal violence is taking place in one or more areas of the state, which can pose a danger to the integrity and security of India; then the state government can declare that area in question as “communally disturbed area”.
