Owaisi says nationwide NRC would be ‘100 times worse’ for minorities; UCC aimed at ‘targeting Muslims’
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday said a nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC) would be “100 times worse”, citing the difficulties faced by minorities, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and migrants during the exercise in Assam.
“NRC is going to be 100 times worse. We’ve already seen how disastrous the NRC has been in Assam. It has caused immense trouble, especially for minorities, SC/STs and migrants,” Owaisi said in a post on X.
He said an NRC would require people to prove their citizenship by producing documents and questioned how those dependent on government rations would be able to establish their citizenship.
