Kolkata: In an interview to
PTI, Kailash Vijayvargiya, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s national general secretary, said that if voted to power in Bengal, the party will not take up any exercise to update the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and said the opposition Trinamool Congress was wrong in saying that the party will be “taking away the citizenship rights of people”.
The party’s Bengal minder, however, said that BJP intends to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and provide rights to (non-Muslim) refugees who fled religious persecution in neighbouring countries and moved to India.
