Union Minister for States for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday said that the National Citizen Register (NRC) is to identify foreigners in Assam not for Indians.
Speaking at India Today conclave, Mr Rijiju said that the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath is imposing NRC in Madhya Pradesh.
He was referring to Kamalnath’s statement that people from Bihar and Uttar-Pradesh get employement in Madhya Pradesh at the cost of locals.
Nath told reporters after taking office on Monday that his government will provide incentives to industries that gives 70 percent of their jobs to those from Madhya Pradesh.
