Equal number of Muslims, Hindus left out of NRC: BJP leader
BJP leader Kabindra Purkayastha has said it his "idea" that an equal number of Muslims and Hindus in Assam were excluded from National Register of Citizens' (NRC) final draft. "It is propaganda that there are more Muslims or more Hindus," he added. His remarks come even as NRC Coordinator Prateek Hajela said they don't have data on applicants' religion.
