No documentation needed for NPR update: Amit Shah

New delhi date. March 12, 2020, Thursday

Updating the NPR does not require any document to be shown and any information being sought is optional.

This was stated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Rajya Sabha on Thursday. Referring to hate speech, he said that after the CAA became law, there was a journey of terrorizing the minds of minorities, especially Muslims.

Shah said he asked the opposition leaders to show any CAA clause or provision that states that citizenship should be taken. He asked Congress leader Kapil Sibal to show any clause in the citizenship reform law that would deprive Muslims of citizenship.

Referring to NPR in Sibal's reply, Shah said that no documents were sought in NPR. No one in the country has to fear the NPR process.

The Home Minister also made it clear that "if there is any doubt about NPR, opposition leader Ghulam Nabi Azad in the Rajya Sabha, Anand Sharma, chairman of the Standing Committee on Home Affairs Parliament and any MPs he may come and discuss with him. They will clear their doubts. '

Speaking on the Delhi violence on the other side, Home Minister Amit Shah said that no one should be discriminated against on the Delhi violence issue and that the person who made the riots belong to any religion or religious party.

He said that more than 700 FIRs were registered after the riots. He claimed that 1922 people were involved in the violence in Delhi. Uttar Pradesh's border was sealed only on February 24.

125 weapons used in the riots have been seized. An attempt was made to prevent riots by having 321 meetings of the peace committees of the people of both societies. More than 40 teams are formed and assigned the responsibility of identifying people involved in the riots.
