No Decision Yet On Nationwide NRC, Centre Tells Lok Sabha
The Ministry of Home Affairs said in parliament that the Centre is still uncertain to decide on a nationwide National Register of Indian Citizens (NRC). Home minister Amit Shah in 2019 committed that NRC will be implemented nationwide before the 2024 general elections but only in Assam. However, the Centre will consider the 2021 census to update the National Population Register (NPR).
