The MHA refuted Congress's claims of omitting caste enumeration from the 2027 Census. This follows Congress accusations that the government backtracked on its promise.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Monday responded to claims surrounding the Union government’s latest Census notification, reiterating that caste enumeration is indeed part of the upcoming population survey. The clarification comes in response to the Congress party’s sharp accusations that the government has remained silent on conducting a caste-based census.
A Ministry of Home Affairs spokesperson, quoted by news agency PTI, stated that “Caste Enumeration is a part of the upcoming Census” and pointed to three official press releases—dated 30 April, 4 June, and 15 June 2025—which, according to the ministry, clearly mention this inclusion.
