Don’t increase stateless people: Luxembourg FM

New Delhi, January 28

Amidst concerns over India’s new citizenship Act and the NRC, Luxembourg, a European Union member, on Tuesday said it didn’t want to “interfere in the domestic policy” of the country but had asked New Delhi to “do everything” to not increase stateless people. This was conveyed by visiting Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn during talks with his Indian counterpart S Jaishankar.

“What I said to the minister (Jaishankar) this morning is ‘do everything you can do to not increase stateless people’. That is something that we have to fight against. Rest concerns India,” Asselborn said during an interactive session at India International Centre. — PTI
