New Delhi, Dec 30 (ANI): While speaking to ANI in the national capital on December 30, the Minister of State (MoS) in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) Jitendra Singh spoke on Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). He said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the other day and all of us also heard that National Register of Citizens (NRC) is yet to be discussed and it has nothing to do or relate with CAA or National Population Register (NPR).” “It was Congress leader P Chidambaram who said NPR could be a basis of NRC and then when this issue was further dragged then he said I don’t want to debate on this as possibly he realised that it had both the views,” he added.
