In RTI Reply, PMO Says PM Modi Needs No Citizenship Certificate

The PMO said there’s no question of Narendra Modi’s citizenship certificate, as he is a citizen by birth.

In response to an RTI filed by Subhankar Sarkar, asking to see Prime Minister Narendra Modi's citizenship certificate, the Prime Minister's Office replied that the question of him having a citizenship certificate does not arise because he is an Indian citizen by birth.

‘Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is a citizen of India by birth in terms of Section 3 of the Citizenship Act, 1955 and as such the question of his having a citizenship certificate which is for citizenship by registration does not arise.’
