NPR ,NRC లకు సంబంధం లేదా? ||CAA, NPR, NRC what is the link?
The Narendra Modi-led Union Cabinet on Tuesday approved nearly Rs 4,000 crore for a fresh exercise to update the National Population Register (NPR). What is causing fresh fears among people is that, according to media reports, the exercise will include information about respective birthplaces of father and mother.
Although NPR was first made in 2010 along with the house-listing operations for Census 2011, and then again updated in 2015, the inclusion of these new queries brings it perilously close to the National Register of Citizens (NRC) that has triggered protests in recent weeks across the country, prompting Union minister Prakash Javadekar to allay fears on NCR at a press briefing on Tuesday by saying that “NPR has nothing to do with NRC” and would not require “biometrics or documents.”
However, the Modi government has itself stated that there is a link between NPR and NRC. In a written reply to Lok Sabha on July 15, 2014, Minister of State for Home, Kiren Rijiju, said: “The Citizenship Act, 1955 provides that the Central Government may compulsorily register every Citizen of India and issue National Identity Card to him. Accordingly, Government has decided to create National Register of Indian Citizens (NRIC) by verifying citizenship status of all persons in the National Population Register (NPR) and issue National Identity Cards to all the Citizens of India.”
