-The Indian Express

While many opposition-ruled states have said they will not participate in NPR, Kerala has officially declared the same. On Monday it issued an official statement to that effect.

New Delhi:
With the Kerala government declaring that it will not participate in the National Population Register (NPR) exercise slated to begin on April 1, the Centre has said that it will sensitise states to the fact that information being sought in the NPR is voluntary.

Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy on Tuesday said states did not have the legal right to refuse NPR. “States are constitutionally obliged to implement the census and NPR. There should be no objection to it. We will sensitise states on NPR. All information being sought is voluntary,” Reddy said.
