As the CAA is the first step which would be followed by the National Register of Citizens, Kerala has taken a firm stand against the NRC as well. We have also categorically stated that no detention centre will be built in the state to cater to the CAA-NRC exercise. Along with the Census enumeration for 2021, a National Population Register is sought to be prepared. Official documents pertaining to the same indicate that the NPR will be treated as the foundation on which the NRC will be prepared. Therefore, the Government of Kerala has stayed all activities within the State, related to the NPR as well. A few days back, the Kerala Legislative Assembly has passed a resolution demanding the Centre to withdraw the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019.
