Reacting on the Prime Minister Modi’s statement, which he made during his speech at the mega-rally in Ramlila Maidan on Sunday, that since the BJP government came in power in 2014, there has been no discussion on NRC, and the one implemented in Assam was to follow the Supreme Court’s directives, Congress leader Anand Sharma said to ANI, “It’s the Home Minister’s statement in both the Houses, it’s in public domain. That has to be then duly clarified. That has created an environment of fear, insecurity & uncertainty in the country. It’s primarily the govt which is responsible for that.”
