No decision on nationwide NRC yet, MHA clarifies in Lok Sabha

On the questions of whether the government has any plans to introduce the National Register of Citizens (NRC) all over the country, Ministry of Home Affairs MoS Nityanand Rai said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha on Tuesday that "till now, the government has not taken any decision to prepare NRC at the national level".

The home ministry has also said "question does not arise" on the questions of the modalities of a nationwide NRC and how it would put additional burden on citizens.
