Seeking to put an end to apprehensions about updation of National Population Register(NPR), Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that there was no link between the National Population Register (NPR) exercise and the National Register of Citizen (NRC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Shah said that that information obtained through NPR cannot be used for NRC which was a separate process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the union cabinet has not ever discussed NRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shah’s remarks came on a day the union cabinet approved the proposal for conducting Census of India 2021 and updating of NPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The minister said that while Census was held every 10 years and NPR was started by the UPA government and the government was carrying it forward as it was a “good exercise”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“NPR is register of population, NRC is register of citizens. There is no link between the two and the two have different processes,” Shah told ANI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
