Assam BJP MLA alleges several illegal Bangladeshis name included in first draft NRC
Guwahati, Jan 2 (IBNS) : While the Assam government on Dec 31 midnight had published the much awaited first part draft of National Register of Citizens (NRC) by inclusion the names of 1.90 crore people out of the total 3.29 crore applicants in the state and recognising them as legal citizens of India, a BJP legislator of the state alleged that several illegal Bangladeshi person names were also included in the first draft.
Shiladitya Dev, BJP MLA representing middle Assam’s Hojai assembly constituency, whose name also excluded from the first draft had alleged that, several illegal Bangladeshi people names included in the first draft.
“ We have noticed that, several mistakes were happened in the electoral rolls in Assam by inclusion of illegal Bangladeshi people and those government officials who were engaged in the electoral rolls preparing process are also engaged in the NRC updation process. NRC authorities said that, the first draft has been published after completion of proper verification. But I doubted that, several illegal Bangladeshi people names included in the first draft,” the BJP MLA said.
The BJP legislator said that, while his son name appeared in the first draft, his name was missing.
Apart from Shiladitya Dev, two other BJP legislators, four sitting Congress MLA, 7 AIUDF MLAs, perfume baron AIUDF chief and MP Badaruddin Ajmal, his brother MP Sirajuddin Ajmal’s name also missing from the first draft.
Congress MLA Nurul Huda who representing Rupohihat assembly constituency of Nagaon district said that, it is just a first part draft NRC and we believe that, every genuine Indian citizen names will be included in the next draft.
“My name is also excluded from the first draft, but I am not worried. The entire NRC updation process is going on under supervision of the Supreme Court,” Nurul Huda said.
On the other hand, AIUDF General Secretary Aminul Islam said that, the first draft was published by including 1.90 crore people and rest 1.39 crore people’s documents are under different stages of verification process.
“We demanded the both centre and state government and RGI, NRC state coordinator to take appropriate measures as no one legal Indian citizen name should be excluded from the NRC,” Aminul Islam said.
Meanwhile, a cab driver had committed suicide in Barak Valley’s Silchar on January 1 after he doubted that his name will not include in the NRC.
On the other hand, Assam BJP MP RP Sarma alleged that, over 5 crore illegal Bangladeshi people are residing in India.
The BJP MP who representing the Tezpur parliamentary constituency urged the Union government that, Assam like NRC process should be implemented in the rest of the country.
