New Delhi: Taking a swipe at Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said if the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is implemented, the BJP leader will have to first leave the city.
In the past, Tiwari has on several occasions demanded that NRC should be implemented in the national capital like Assam.
Responding to a question at a press conference, the chief minister said, "If NRC is implemented in Delhi, Manoj Tiwari will have to first leave Delhi."
Last month, Tiwari had said that the situation in Delhi had become "dangerous" due to the presence of a "large number" of illegal immigrants including Bangladeshis and Rohingyas who have been found involved in "criminal activities."
Meanwhile, reacting to Kejriwal, Manoj Tiwari has said that the Delhi CM should specify whether people who have migrated from other states are considered foreigners.
"People who have migrated from other states are considered as foreigners by you? You want to chase them out from Delhi, you're one among them," Tiwari said.
