New Delhi: After the Lok Sabha passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB), Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said that the National Register of Citizens (NRC) would be brought in soon.
“There is no need to connect Citizenship (Amendment) Bill with National Register of Citizens (NRC). I will explain it (NRC) the same way in the Parliament as CAB. Rest assured, NRC will be brought in soon,” Shah said.
The Lok Sabha today passed the CAB that seeks to grant Indian citizenship to persons belonging to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities who have migrated to India after facing persecution on grounds of religion in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, if they fulfill conditions for grant of citizenship.
