Telangana BJP president N Ramchander Rao on Saturday, July 11, expressed concern over the proposal to issue Permanent Residence Certificates (PRCs), saying such documents should not be granted without proper verification, as they could pose security risks.
Speaking to reporters in Hyderabad, Rao said the issue of PRCs had come into focus following the Special
Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Karnataka.
He alleged that issuing Permanent Residence Certificates without thorough verification could undermine efforts to identify illegal immigrants.
“A Permanent Residence Certificate is going to cause a lot of security concerns. This certificate cannot be issued without verification,” Rao said.
