Summary:

A+ A-Syed HurairahHyderabad: Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen supremo Asaduddin Owaisi after noticing the silence of the Telangana government on National Population Register in the recent cabinet meeting opened up and urged the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to halt NPR process immediately. Owaisi, who represents Hyderabad in the Lok Sabha, has been speaking against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the NPR for the past few weeks. Speaking about the NPR, he said that in his meeting with the CM, he had requested that the Telangana government put the brakes on NPR. I would also request and urge the Telangana Chief Minister that as the state of Kerala has put a stay on NPR, we request and hope that he would take a historic decision and also put a stay on NPR. Because NPR has no relation whatsoever on census,” Owaisi said..
