Giriraj Singh advocates for nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC)

PATNA: Union Minister Giriraj Singh has advocated for the nationwide implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) following the violence in Delhi's Jahangipuri.

"After the Jahangirpuri incidents, efforts are on to disturb the eternal social harmony of the country. Hence, the time has come for the implementation of NRC in the country. I believe it is a matter of discussion from 'Sadak' to 'Sansad' (Road to Parliament)," Singh said in a video statement and a tweet on Thursday.

"The people present in the Jahangirpuri are those who had held the flag against the government during the Citizen Amendment Act (CAA). They were involved in stone-pelting on the Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti procession. Moreover, they are involved in firing on SP rank officers and people of the 'tukde-tukde' gang are supporting them," Singh said. (IANS)
