Congress will not implement CAA, NPR, NRC in present forms in Delhi if voted to power: Chopra

Delhi Congress president Subhash Chopra on Sunday said the party, if elected to power in Delhi, would not implement CAA, NPR and NRC in their present forms and that the promise would be included in its manifesto for the upcoming Assembly election.

A resolution against the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Population Register (NPR) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) was adopted in a meeting of Delhi Congress's manifesto committee for the Assembly polls.

"One of major promises of our manifesto will be non-implementation of CAA, NPR and NRC in their current forms," senior party leader and manifesto committee head Ajay Maken said in a joint press conference.

Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal should call a special session of the Assembly to clear his party's stand on CAA and "attack" on Jamia Millia Islamia students by the police during a protest against the law, Chopra said.

"If the Congress party is elected to power in Delhi, it will not implement NPR, NRC and CAA in their present forms," he said
