I told them clearly that state government will not support it, the Chief Minister said.
He recalled that Deputy Chief Minister Amzath Basha had made a statement on the issue a few days ago.
He had discussed the issue with me before making that statement. I fully endorse that. The entire government is committed to it. We are against NRC and there is no question of supporting it, Jagan told the minorities.
