Modi himself has no Indian citizenship certificate
One Subhankar Sarkar filed an RTI asking for the citizenship certificate of the Indian prime minister
In reply to a Right To Information filed by an Indian citizen questioning the citizenship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister's Office replied that Narendra Modi has no citizenship certificate because he is an Indian citizen by birth.
On January 17, one Subhankar Sarkar filed an RTI asking for the citizenship certificate of the Indian prime minister.
The Under Secretary of the PMO Praveen Kumar wrote, "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."
