The JFD reiterated its uncompromising stance that the National Register of Citizens should be implemented first, rejecting any calls for a change.
JFD issued a clear statement reaffirming that the National Register of Citizens (NRC) must be prioritized above all other policy measures. The organization said it will not entertain any proposals that seek to delay or dilute the NRC agenda.
In the statement, JFD emphasized that a swift rollout of the NRC is essential for national security and demographic clarity, and that any compromise would undermine its purpose. The party dismissed recent suggestions from opposition quarters to re‑order the reform timeline.
Political analysts note that JFD’s firm stance adds another layer to the ongoing debate over the NRC’s implementation, highlighting the polarized views within the country’s political landscape.
