Dear Virat Kohli, Read This So You Can Understand CAA-NRC-NPR

The Quint  

As of now, an All India NRC seems inevitable. Despite the prime minister’s statement in his speech on 22 December 2019 calling a nationwide NRC a ‘product of rumours’, the official clarifications hosted by the Press Information Bureau admit that the legal framework for this already exists. Since the NRC is based on the 2003 Rules to the Citizenship Act, and the CAA is also based on the same law, they will certainly apply together. This new requirement holds significance in the context of the proposed nationwide NRC inasmuch as it mirrors the requirements for citizenship under Section 3 of the Citizenship Act. This raises the concern that the identical overlap between the requirements for citizenship under the Citizenship Act and the new requirement of the NPR goes on to credibly suggest that the NPR will form the basis of the future NRC.
