In reply to a question from MP Mala Roy, MoS (home) Bandi Sanjay Kumar cited the Citizenship Act, 1955, as amended in 2004, which "provides the central govt to compulsory register every citizen of India and issue a national identity card to him. The procedure for the same has been laid down in Citizenship ( Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Card) Rules, 2003," the MoS said.
