Congress MP P Chidambaram in a series of tweets clarified that the National Population Register aided the preparation of the Census of 2011, but there was no talk of NRC. He went to say in the video clip released by the BJP, the emphasis is on residency not citizenship. Chidambaram added that the BJP-led government has a larger and more sinister agenda and that is why the NPR approved by them is very dangerous. He said if the BJP's motives are bonafide, let the govt unconditionally state that they support the form and design of NPR as it was in 2010.
