Patra clarified that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that after NRC no Muslims will be kept in a detention camp

"The Prime Minister had said that there is no such detention camp in which Muslims of India will be placed after NRC. This is a rumour which is being spread. The Prime Minister has not lied," said Patra.

Patra claimed that the people know the difference between a liar and a performer. "People of India are intelligent. They know how to differentiate between a liar and a performer. While we have a liar in Rahul Gandhi, we have a performer in PM Modi," he said.

He said that there is no connection between the setting up of detention centres and NRC. "There is no connection between setting up detention centres and NRC. Detention centre is for foreigners who are in India illegally and to ensure they do not vanish. This is just a confinement centre to control his/her movement," he said.
