Congress' Digvijaya Singh dares BJP to come clean on nationwide NRC

Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janta Party over making contradictory statements regarding the nationwide implementation of National Register of Citizens, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Sunday dared BJP working president Jagat Prakash Nadda to clear the party's stand on the issue.

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Sunday dared BJP working president Jagat Prakash Nadda to come clean on the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and questioned if his party was not going to implement it nationwide.

"I want to ask Nadda whether they will bring NRC or not. Why is he hiding? If he has the guts then he should say that they would implement NRC. Our fight is not political... Due to NRC, every citizen of India would have to prove that he or she is Indian," Singh told reporters in Delhi.

"People will be asked to furnish the birth certificate of their father. Modi Ji is not being able to provide his education certificate and he is demanding a certificate from the citizens," he alleged.

The Congress leader's comment came after Nadda challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to explain the controversial legislation.
