Speaking at a programme in Kolkata, the national general secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) told the audience that there would be a 100 per cent implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) but that Hindus need not to have any apprehensions about the same, reports PTI.
He added that the BJP will soon pass the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in the Parliament.
Indirectly targeting the Trinamool, without naming it specifically, he spoke of some people working to “spread canards and misguide the people”.
He also took aim at illegal immigrants who were staying in India, saying that the country wasn’t a charity house that that those belonging to the majority community in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan could simply infiltrate across the border.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
