GUWAHATI: National Register of Citizens (NRC) Assam coordinator, Hitesh Dev Sarma, has written to all deputy commissioners and registrars of citizen registration of all districts seeking details of “ineligible persons” found present in the final NRC list.
“It has come to knowledge that after publication of final NRC on August 31, 2019, few names of ineligible persons are found present in the final NRC, particularly who are DV (doubtful voters), DF (declared foreigners), PFT (cases pending in foreigners’ tribunal), DVD (descendants of doubtful voters), DFD (descendants of declared foreigners) and (cases of declared foreigners pending in foreigners tribunals) PFTD,” the letter to the DCs and DRCRs read.
“As such, you are requested to share the details of such persons, who are ineligible for inclusion in NRC but whose names got included in NRC in addition to the list shared earlier through the medium. You are requested to note that this matter is of utmost importance as the details received from your end have to be reported to the Registrar General of India urgently,” the letter read.
Over 19 lakh people were excluded from the final NRC published in August last year.
It may be mentioned that city-based NGO, Assam Public Works (APW), had filed an affidavit in Supreme Court recently seeking a halt to the NRC exercise in the wake of alleged anomalies in the update of the register.
APW, the original petitioner in the Supreme Court which led to the process of updating the NRC six years back, had alleged that the NRC was a process by which there was a large-scale inclusion of foreigners, including jihadis to become the citizens of the country.
“The NRC has not only excluded various names of the sons of the soil but also included the names of almost 80 lakh of foreigners, including jihadis,” APW president, Aabhijeet Sharma, had said in a statement on Tuesday.
