CPI-(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Saturday said his party appeals to Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and other Chief Ministers in the country to not implement the proposed National Population Register (NPR).
our Kerala Chief Minister has made that announcement (not to implement NPR). In Bengal, Chief Minister made that announcement. Similarly, our appeal is to the other chief ministers, he told reporters here.
The NPR would be a harassment of poor people as they would have to produce certificates, he alleged.
Raising a question mark on the citizenship law, he said it was 'an inversion of the principles of jurisprudence."
