While this may seem like a rollback, needs greater clarity. The 'doubtful' classification takes place under the *NRC*, which is stage-2 of the NPR. When the Home Minister says no one will be marked doubtful, is he categorically ruling out a nationwide NRC?
If so, Mr Shah needs to state that clearly. The govt's responses on the NRC (since the protests began) have been evasive at best and dishonest at worst ("we have never discussed NRC" etc.)
As for Mr Shah saying NPR does not need documents, this is not a new claim. Made several times in the past by other ministers. Again, needs clarity. Here, for instance is a @TOIIndiaNews piece which suggests NPR may not be entirely document-free. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/have-aad…
The govt's obfuscation over NPR seems to have led Tamil Nadu's ADMK govt, a BJP ally, to hold the excercise.
