Hyderabad, Dec.26 (Maxim News): Union Minister of State of Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy severely said “deliberate and baseless misinformation” campaign being spread by Opposition parties and section of media that NPR is a precursor to NRC.
In a statement here today, Kishan Reddy said categorically that there was no link between the two. “The present NPR is part of 2021 Census enumeration. We are just continuing the NPR exercise started by the UPA Government in 2010 with just additions of three or four coloumns related to the place of birth of the parents of a person being enlisted, Aadhar card number and last place of residence, which are basic requirements for NPR.
The Opposition parties are playing a mind game of vitiating people’s faith in government and there by derailing the process of progressive engagement which is mandatory for planning the nation’s welfare agenda, for alleviation of poverty, effective grounding of welfare schemes including schemes like Ayushmanbhava. How can any government, which was committed to the welfare of all plan its policies without authentic and comprehensive data, he asked. (Maxim News)
