Smriti Irani says no Indian will be left out of the NRC

Kolkata: Asserting that the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre would protect the rights of every genuine citizen of the country, Union Minister and BJP leader Smriti Irani said on Tuesday that while infiltrators would face the law, no genuine Indian citizen would suffer following the publication of the final list of National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam on August 31.

"No Indian will be left out, it is our commitment. We are dedicated to protecting the rights of all the citizens of the country," Irani told the media here on the occasion of the Modi government completing 100 days in office in its second term.
