Several state governments have stalled work on the NPR, alleging that it’s the first step toward a National Register of Citizens (NRC), which will be used in conjunction with the Citizenship Amendment Act to disenfranchise Muslims. PM Narendra Modi has denied any such intent. Home minister Amit Shah said that the NPR data will not be used for an NRC and that there has been no decision on conducting an NRC as of now. So no conclusions can be made about these allegations for now.
