GUWAHATI : The blood reopened after nine months of Assam’s decades-old wound pain and the final list of the National Register of Citizens in Assam, which left about 19 lakh people still untouched. India has forgotten about it. 19.07 lakh people have been worried, hanging and uncertain about their future. Meanwhile, India is deeply restless with the National Register of Citizens (NRC), Citizenship (Amendment) Act and now, all those coronary viruses. Epidemic is the biggest risk.The Supreme Court, political parties, All Assam Students Union – who have revived the trauma of Assam – have moved forward. The NRC final list was publicized in August 2019 of the previous year. More than 19 lakh people were left out of the published National Citizenship Register.
The citizenship of these people is now in question. According to estimates, the number of Hindus and Muslims was almost equal among those excluded from the NRC. And most of them were of Bangladeshi origin.If the proposed citizenship amendment bill becomes law, the way for Hindu illegal migrants to get Indian citizenship will be opened but Muslims will remain outside its purview. Human rights activists question whether this would make a large population of Muslims stateless. At present, the names of 10,000 ineligible people and their descendants will be removed from the final list of the National Register of Citizens, NRC in Assam.
State coordinator of NRC Hitesh Dev Sarma has given instructions in this regard.Sarma has written a letter to all the Deputy Commissioners and District Registrar of Citizen Registration, DRCR on Tuesday to remove the names of these people. ) / DV (Declared Voters) / PFT (Pending in Foreign Tribunal) category Names of ineligible people and their descendants have been found in NRC. He has asked all these officials to issue orders to identify these people and remove their names from NRC.Sarma has clarified the rules and clauses related to it, stating that before the final NRC is published, the concerned authority can remove and include the name of any person.
The last NRC for Assam was made public in August last year. But it has not yet been notified by the Registrar General of India and because of this it has no official validity. Sarma has also asked to explain the proper reasons for the removal of Nat.For this, it was directed to conduct mandatory verification to identify all such people correctly, so that there would be no dispute in future. However, Sarma in his letter did not say how many people’s names would be removed. But people associated with the case say that about 10,000 people have been identified, whose names were wrongly included in the last NRC. At the same time, sources said that people from all communities are involved in this.On the other hand, the Congress in Assam alleged that the BJP is engaged in doing politics and creating confusion on the National Register of Citizens (NRC). If inconsistencies are found, the Assam government should be given the responsibility to bring in new NRCs. The Assam government had demanded a 20% sample re-verification of the names included in the final NRC in the districts of Bangladesh bordering Assam.
