Kumar made this clear in a terse reply to queries from journalists who had sought his response on the proposed country-wide implementation of NRC, including Bihar, as stated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the floor of the Parliament.
Kaahe ka NRC? Bilkul laagu nahin hoga (NRC, what for? Will not at all be implemented), Kumar quipped as he sauntered towards his vehicle waving at the media persons who had gathered at a function in Patna seeking to know his stand on the issue that has triggered nation-wide tensions and protests.
