Parliamentary proceedings | Agnipath, NPR raised during Zero Hour

The demand to update the National Population Register (NPR) to check the alleged infiltration from Bangladesh, withdrawal of the Agnipath recruitment scheme and the attack on the BJP member from Bharatpur, Ranjeeta Koli, were among the key issues that were raised during the Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha on Monday.

Raising the infiltration issue, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey asked the Centre to carry out the NPR exercise and demanded the dismissal of the Hemant Soren-led State government for aiding “Islamisation” activities.

“This issue has nothing to do with Hindu-Muslim as those who infiltrate take away the employment of both Hindus and Muslims,” Mr. Dubey said, adding “Bangladeshi Muslims marry gullible tribal girls with an aim to change the demography of the region”.
