Citizenship law will be implemented, so will be NRC: Nadda after meeting refugees from Afghan

Amid protests against the amended Citizenship Act, BJP working president JP Nadda on Thursday asserted that the law will be implemented and the National Register of Citizens will also be brought in.

Mr Nadda made these remarks here after meeting Sikh refugees from Afghanistan, who under the amended act will become Indian citizens. He also slammed the opposition for protesting against the new legislation.

He said BJP's rivals are protesting for vote bank politics while ignoring the plight of minorities of three neighbouring countries living in India.
