No 'illegal immigrant' will be allowed to stay in the country and that the NRC exercise in Assam was completed in 'time-bound manner', said Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday. Shah, who is also the chairman of the North Eastern Council (NEC), was addressing chief ministers of eight northeastern states, in his inaugural address at the 68th plenary session of the NEC in Guwahati. On the National Register of Citizens (NRC), the Home Minister said, "Questions are being raised about the NRC by different sections but today I just want to say this that the BJP-led government is committed to ensure that not a single illegal immigrant enters the region."
