Comprehension Passage

Read the given paragraph and answer the following questions.

The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India aims to replace personal laws based on religious scriptures and customs with a common set of laws for all citizens. Article 44 of the Indian Constitution, as part of the Directive Principles of State Policy, states that "The State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India." The UCC is intended to promote national integration and eliminate discrimination caused by different personal laws, which cover subjects like marriage, divorce, and inheritance and fall under the Concurrent List. The Shah Bano case in 1985 was significant, as the Supreme Court urged the Parliament to draft a UCC, highlighting the need for uniformity in personal laws to prevent communalism and discrimination.

Which of the following is a liberal principle of the Directive Principles of State Policy of the Indian Constitution?

1
To secure right to work 
2
To secure uniform civil code
3
To promote social welfare
4
To promote equal justice
