New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah speaking in the Rajya Sabha said that the National Register of Citizens (NRC) will be implemented nationwide
A citizen’s list or National Register for Citizens (NRC) on the lines of the exercise in Assam will be carried out across the country. “No person, irrespective of religion, needs to fear”, asserted Shah.
The Assam citizen’s list left out 19 lakh people.
The NRC aims to identify illegal immigrants, primarily from Bangladesh, who entered Assam and settled there after March 25, 1971, and deport them to their native country.
The Home Minister said people whose names were missing from the NRC can approach tribunals and the Assam government will even provide financial help.
