The Union Minister said that the bill is important to safeguard the interests of the people.
"Assam's burden is the entire nation's burden and all necessary steps will be taken to deal with illegal immigrants.

Rajnath also assured that the government is committed towards NRC and asserted that there will be no discrimination towards anyone. "All the necessary steps will be taken to deal with illegal migrants," he added. He said they have an approval for a high-level committee which will hold discussions with all stakeholders before giving recommendations in six months. |
