New Delhi, December 26: Inspite of clarifying a thousand times by now, that NPR and NRC are not interlinked, Congress's P Chidambaram on Thursday turned blatant, alleging that the National Population Register (NPR) approved by the BJP government was different and dangerous in terms of the text and context of the data collection done in 2010.
 
Charging that the BJP government has a sinister agenda, he said if the BJP's motives are bonafide, the Government should unconditionally state that they support the NPR form and design of 2010 and do not intend to link it to the controversial NRC.

"The BJP-led government has a larger and more sinister agenda and that is why the NPR approved by them yesterday is very dangerous and different in terms of the TEXT as well as the CONTEXT of NPR 2010. If the BJP's motives are bonafide, let the Government unconditionally state that they support the NPR form and design of 2010 and have no intention of linking it to the controversial NRC," he said on Twitter.
"Long live the right to assemble peacefully guaranteed by the Constitution. Police believe that peaceful protests are more dangerous to law and order then rape, murder and lynching", he said flagrantly exaggerting on Twitter. Giving out a clear picture to the citizens, in a bid to dispel all unwarranted fears like that happened over Citizenship Amendment Act, Home Minister Amit Shah asserted that there is ‘NO LINK’ between National Population Register (NPR) and National Register of Citizens (NRC).
However, after Cabinet approved the updation of NPR on Tuesday, the opposition leaders hovered their comments stating that NPR was the first step towards NRC. And therefore, to avoid any other misinformation and chaos in the country, Shah further clearly stated that it cannot be used for each other because the laws are different and the NPR process was started by UPA government in 2004.
 
“There is a lot of difference between the two. There is no link between NRC and NPR, I am clearly stating this today. They cannot be used in place for each other. The laws are different. NPR was not started by the BJP government. It was started in 2004 by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. NPR data cannot be used for the NRC", he had said adding that in NPR there will be no support documents that would be required.
