    BJP leader Manoj Tiwari says NRC is "needed" in Delhi

    BJP leader Manoj Tiwari says NRC is "needed" in Delhi
  • On the day when Assam's final list of National Register of Citizens (NRC) was released, Bharatiya Janata Party's Manoj Tiwari made a controversial remark.

    The Bhojpuri actor-turned-politician said NRC is "needed" in Delhi as the situation has become "dangerous". His comment was quickly slammed by All India Mahila Congress.

    The pertinent question is: Didn't Tiwari know why NRC was done before making the remark?

  • In this article
    A little about NRC and the process Tiwari talked about implementing NRC in Delhi Before Delhi elections, Tiwari mentioned NRC. The connection is obvious "Irony wants a change of name" Earlier, Himanta Biswa Sarma dismissed NRC in current form
  • Context

    A little about NRC and the process

    A little about NRC and the process
  • The NRC was formed in 1951 to enumerate Indian citizens living in Assam. It was done to keep a check on illegal Bangladeshi immigrants.

    In 2013, the Supreme Court ordered that the list should be updated and the procedure started in 2015.

    After four years, the final list was released earlier today and over 19 lakh people out of 3.3 crore applicants were excluded.

  • What he said

    Tiwari talked about implementing NRC in Delhi

  • With his comments, Tiwari has shown he knows little about NRC. The process wasn't instant, and it involved some sections of the Constitution too.

    Had he known this, he wouldn't have said, "The situation in Delhi is becoming so dangerous that it's necessary to have NRC. Illegal immigrants who have settled here are the most dangerous... we will implement NRC when the time comes."

  • Importance

    Before Delhi elections, Tiwari mentioned NRC. The connection is obvious

    Before Delhi elections, Tiwari mentioned NRC. The connection is obvious
  • Tiwari's announcement comes at a time when Delhi is gearing up for elections next year.

    In all probability, he was hinting towards inhabitants of slums, who are seen as one of the core vote banks of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

    Reacting on his statement, a wing of Congress reminded that Tiwari himself is a "migrant" in Delhi.

  • Twitter Post

    "Irony wants a change of name"

  • So Manoj Tiwari ji

    Born in Kaimur, Bihar
    Studied in Varanasi, UP
    Worked in Mumbai, Maharshtra
    Contested in Gorakhpur, UP
    Contested again in Delhi

    Is talking about throwing immigrants away from Delhi.
    Irony wants a change of name!

    Earlier, Himanta Biswa Sarma dismissed NRC in current form

  • While Tiwari talked about NRC-esque process in Delhi, his party senior showed little confidence in the process which reached its climax today.

    Himanta Biswa Sarma, BJP's brain in the northeast, said he lost hope in present NRC after the draft was released.

    "When so many genuine Indians are out, then how can you claim that this document is a red-letter for the Assamese society," he said.
