Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh responded to Congress MP Charan Das Mahant’s remark on National Register of Citizens (NRC) on Sunday.

He said, “Centre is very clear about its stand on NRC. Our citizens will stay, but infiltrators will have to leave. You want to make India a ‘dharamshala’? Someone forcibly comes and uses resources, this is unacceptable. They will have to go back. Congress is taking such stands because of vote politics.”

Charan Das Mahant had said that the government should keep and protect people who come to India.
