After Assam released its final list of national register of citizens, a BJP MLA in Telangana on Saturday raised the demand for a similar exercise in the State.

Appealing to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Raja Singh, the lone BJP MLA in Telangana, said NRC should be implemented from September 17, the day of merger of erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad with the Indian Union in 1948.

"I request @HMOIndia again #NRC should be implemented in Telangana as well," he tweeted.

Without naming All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi, he alleged that "#Hyderabad Parliamentarian has given shelter to many Bangladeshi & #Rohingyas for his vote bank."
