PM Modi slammed Opposition

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday slammed the Congress and other opposition parties for lying over the National Register of Citizens (NRC). "There are lies being spread about NRC, they (opposition) are blowing it out of proportion. It was made during the times of Congress, was everyone sleeping then? We did not make it, neither did it arrive in the Parliament or the Cabinet, neither has any rule or regulation to decide it been framed," PM Modi said. Further stating that both the CAA and NRC do not concern any Indian including the Muslim population of the nation PM Modi said, "CAA is not for any Indian, be it a Hindu or Muslim. This has been said in the Parliament too, the CAA has no relation with any of the 130 crore Indians living in the country."
