Akbaruddin Owaisi to raise NPR issue

The MP said that during the Telangana State Assembly session which is going to commence on 6th March, under the leadership of Akbaruddin Owaisi, MIM will ask Chief Minister, KCR to put a stay on the NPR exercise.

If implemented, NRC may exclude 1 mn people in Hyd

While addressing the public gathering, Asaduddin Owaisi quoted a media report and said that if NRC is implemented in Hyderabad, around 11 people will be excluded.

It may be mentioned that as per Census 2011 data, out of the total population of Hyderabad i.e., 39.4 lakh, 27 percent are illiterate. It is unlikely that illiterate people possess valid documents to prove their claims during the NRC exercise.

Based on the above assumption, IT specialist and researcher Khalid Saifullah has projected that 5.05 lakh Hindus out of 20.46 lakh and 5.02 lakh Muslims out of 17.13 lakh may get excluded from the NRC list if the exercise is implemented.
