NRC has no provision to exclude people on the basis of religion: Amit Shah in Rajya Sabha

Home Minister Amit Shah today while speaking in Rajya Sabha made it clear that NRC has no provision to exclude people on the basis of religion.
Shah said, "NRC has no such provision which says that no other religion will be taken under NRC. All citizens of India irrespective of religion will figure in the NRC list. The NRC is different from Citizenship Amendment Bill."
"Hindu, Buddhist,Sikh,Jain, Christian, Parsi refugees should get citizenship,that is why Citizenship Amendment Bill is needed so that these refugees who are being discriminated on basis of religion in Pakistan,Bangladesh or Afghanistan, get Indian citizenship", he added.
