If NPR is done, nothing can stop NRC: Arvind Kejriwal

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said if the National Population Register is done, nothing can stop the National Register of Citizens, adding both Hindu and Muslims will be forced into detention centres if they failed to prove their citizenship, as the Delhi Assembly passed a resolution to stop the NPR in the national capital.

Speaking in the Delhi Assembly during a special session, Kejriwal said along with Delhi, 11 state Assemblies have said they will not implement the NPR and NRC. “This is a big message. The Delhi Assembly has passed the resolution, moved by Cabinet Minister Gopal Rai, to not implement the NPR in the national capital,” he said.
