Implementation of CAA, NRC & NPR meant to trouble minorities, tribals, Dalits: Asaduddin Owaisi
Mumbai: Indian politician and President of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), Asaduddin Owaisi has said the National Population Register (NPR) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) should be seen in the light of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and that these measures are being brought by the Modi government with the sole motive to trouble minorities, Dalits, and tribals in India.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Asaduddin Owaisi speaking to reporters after chairing a party meeting in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city in Maharashtra said, “The CAA has to be seen along with the NRC and NPR”.
The Hyderabad MP said the NRC was implemented in Assam where names of nearly 19 lakh people found no mention.
“The Assam chief minister says Hindus will be given citizenship through CAA. But 1.5 lakh people from minority communities will have to contest cases. Only 5 per cent of people in India are passport holders. This is being done to trouble minorities, SCs, and STs in their own country,” the AIMIM chief said.
