New Delhi, Sep 12 (UNI) Days after Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the NDA regime will not allow a single illegal immigrant enter northeast, the Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday said the NRC exercise in Assam was carried out strictly on the basis of directives from the Supreme Court and the process has been transparent.
"It is an internal matter of India," MEA spokesman Raveesh Kumar told reporters here in reference to Minister of External Affairs Dr S Jaishankar's remarks during his recent visit to Bangladesh.
During his visit to Dhaka on August 20, Dr Jaishankar had said that the process of documenting and identifying illegal immigrants in Assam is India's "internal matter".
