Arvind Sawant, Union Minister of Heavy Industries and Shiv Sena MP lauded the government's decision to conduct the National Register of Citizens (NRC) exercise in Assam and demanded the same implementation in Mumbai as well. "NRC was much needed in Assam to solve the problems of the original inhabitants of the region. That is why we supported the NRC move by the government and want a similar exercise to be held in Mumbai to drive out the Bangladeshis living here, once the process is over in Assam," Union Minister of Heavy Industries, Arvind Sawant told reporters on Saturday.
