Oct 02, 2024
Guwahati (Assam) [India], October 2 : The All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) on Wednesday said that the national level National Register of Citizens (NRC) will not become reality, because the NRC updation process in Assam is yet to complete.
AIUDF MLA and party General Secretary Rafiqul Islam said that more than Rs 1600 crore was spent during the NRC updation process in Assam, but the final NRC list is yet to publish.
Speaking to ANI, Islam said "But Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma is advocating the national level NRC. How it is possible. We want that, those illegal foreigners who (both Muslim and Hindu) entered into Assam after 1971 they should be identified and deported. But the updated NRC in Assam is yet to finalise. The Assam Chief said in Jharkhand, Haryana that, illegal foreigners will be identified and he is talking about national level NRC. Is it possible for 140 crore people of the country."
The AIUDF MLA also criticised the Assam Chief Minister and BJP for doing communal politics.
"By bringing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) they are giving Indian citizenship to the people who came from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, on the other hand they are talking about the national level NRC," Rafiqul Islam said.
He further said that, his party wants to identify and deport all Muslims and Hindus who came from Bangladesh to Assam after 1971.
Speaking about the One Nation, One election policy, Islam said "The idea of One Nation, One Election is not practical enough for such a big country. It is only to divert the mind of the people. Even if they implement it right now, it will fall again in some time. Modi should leave this concept. There are weird people in BJP, I am not sure if they even have the suffice knowledge."
