Political tension intensifies on 'detention centre'| Seedha Sawal

The government on Thursday clarified that detention centres have been in existence for several decades in several states, and that their setting up is, in no way, related to the National Register of Citizens (NRC) as being alleged by various quarters including the opposition Congress.
Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks that no detention centre was being constructed in Assam's Matia and said "the Prime Minister of RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) is lying to the nation".
