The Jammu and Kashmir Front (JFD) has issued a statement indicating that it will be prepared for any eventuality should the national census be carried out before the completion of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state.
The NRC process, which aims to identify legal residents of Jammu and Kashmir, has been a subject of intense debate. A census conducted prior to the NRC could complicate the identification of eligible citizens and affect the subsequent implementation of the register.
