All Assam Minority Students Union (AAMSU) president, Rejaul Karim Sarkar said that a lot of genuine Indian citizens have been left out of the final NRC.

"First of all we would like to thank and congratulate the Supreme Court as well as NRC state coordinator Prateek Hajela for the publication of NRC. NRC was published today excluding over 19 lakh people. We have noticed that a lot of genuine Indian citizens have not made it to the NRC because of some simple mistakes in their documents. We will only be able to get a clearer picture once we get more details from all the districts of the state."

NRC is an unsuccessful exercise; burden on general public: Jamaat-e Islami India Secretary

New Delhi/Assam: Malik Motasim Khan, Jamaat-e Islami India Secretary for National Affairs condemned the segregation of people into citizens and "foreigners" through the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and called the entire exercise an "unsuccessful" one.

"It's very sad that something like NRC has been implemented in our country. It has been a very unsuccessful exercise conducted by the government. This has led to a lot of problems for the residents of the state. This not just brings bad repute for the state of Assam but for the country altogether. It is a matter of shame that nearly 20 lakh people who have been residing in the country since independence are deprived of citizenship."

"The issue was always a political one kept alive over the years by both the Congress and BJP governments for the sake of votebank and divisive politics. This is an unsuccessful exercise and a burden on the general public."

"Both the Home Minister of India and the Chief Minister of Assam have said that those couldn't make it to the final NRC list need not worry as exclusion from NRC doesn't neccessarily mean that the person in question is a foreigner. All doors are open for one to prove their citizenship and it will be open for them for months. There is no reason to panic."

No person should be deprived of human rights, says Sanjoy Hazarika after NRC publication

No person should be deprived of human rights, says Sanjoy Hazarika after NRC publication

New Delhi/Assam: Renowned author and Director of Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) Sanjoy Hazarika on Saturday said that nobody in India can be deprived of their human rights be it citizens or non-citizens.

"Human rights is for everybody in India. It's part of universal declaration of human rights and India is one of the signatory," said Hazarika to ETV Bharat.

He spoke to ETV Bharat hours after the final list of National Register of Citizen (NRC) was published in Assam. The list excluded names of more than 19 lakh people in the state.

"According to Article 21 of the Constitution, no one in India can be deprived of life and liberty," said Hazarika adding "Migration is a problem worldwide and thus can't be handled in an arbitrary way."

Hazarika who has authored several books especially on Northeast said that NRC publication will not affect the bilateral ties between India and Bangladesh.

"This (NRC) will not have any impact on the bilateral and diplomatic relation with Bangladesh," said Hazarika.

"They (Bangladesh) will never accept of a large scale influx from their territory. We don't have deportation policy with Bangladesh too...What we can do is that we should push the intruders from the border itself," said Hazarika.

The author said that publication of NRC is a step forward in implementing various clauses of the 1985 Assam Accord.

"Many were expecting an error-free NRC but it's difficult to achieve the feat in a complex place like Assam," said Hazarika.

Elaborating on the likely impact of NRC on the neighbouring states of Assa, Hazarika said, "Impact is already there. States are preparing their own list."

Hazarika said that there is Article 371 (A) for the protection of indeginious people in Nagaland and asked if there will be a similar law for other states.

Not convinced with final NRC: BJP MLA Shiladitya Deb

The ruling Bharatiya Janta Party's MLA from Hojai constituency of Assam Shiladitya Deb on Saturday said that he was not "convinced" with the final National Register of Citizens (NRC) list and claimed that the entire exercise was marred by corruption.

"I am not convinced with the NRC because the way the list has been updated so far is highly doubtful. When the Assam Andolan took place, the leaders claimed that as many as 80 lakh Bangladeshi immigrants had entered Assam, and we anticipated that more than one crore Bangladeshi Muslims would be excluded from the final NRC. But, today through this NRC, these people have become the citizens of the country."

"I also believe that the entire exercise was marred by corruption."

"When the NRC would no longer be monitored by the Supreme Court, and the list is back under the control of the state government, I hope there is an investigation into the entire exercise."

Assam BJP demands implementation of NRC across India

The ruling BJP on Saturday said that they do not trust the updated National Register of Citizens published on August 31, and demanded a nationwide NRC.

Addressing a presser, Assam BJP President Ranjeet Kumar Dass said that the final NRC contains very small figure of exclusions compared to officially stated figures earlier.

"We do not trust this NRC... We are very unhappy...We appeal to the central and the state governments to prepare a national level NRC," he added.

Dass said the party will keep a close watch on the process of appeal in the Foreigners Tribunals (FTs) by the excluded persons and the judgements of the cases.

"If we see that FTs are delivering adverse judgements on the appeals by genuine Indian citizens, we will not wait for the entire 19 lakh cases to be disposed off. We will bring in legislation and make an act to protect them," he asserted.

The final NRC was published on Saturday excluding 19,06,657 persons.

A total of 3,11,21,004 names were included out of 3,30,27,661 applicants.

Final NRC contains flaws, will move SC: AASU

Assam: The All Assam Students' Union (AASU) on Saturday said that it is unhappy with the figure of exclusions in the final National Register of Citizens and will move the Supreme Court for remedial measures.

AASU is a signatory to the Assam Accord, a 1985 document that provided for "detection, deletion and deportation" of "illegal immigrants" from Assam.

The NRC updating process is being monitored by the Supreme Court. It intends to include only "genuine" Indian nationals and weed out the "foreigners".

"We are not happy at all. It seems there were some deficiencies in the updataing process. We believe that it is an incomplete NRC. We will appeal to the Supreme Court to remove all the faults and discrepancies in this NRC," said AASU General Secretary Lurinjyoti Gogoi while speaking to the media.

"Those who do not find their names in the list need not fear. They will be given ample amount of opportunity to prove their citizenship. They have 120 days to pursue their case, which starts from the first or second week of September, " added Madduri.

Katighora Maulana Ataur Rahman Majhar Bhuyan, an Ex-MLA from Cachar district, did not make it to the final NRC.

NRC final list released: Who said what

Guwahati: As the much-awaited National Register of Citizens (NRC) was released on Saturday morning, the outcome evoked mixed views from the people and politicians alike.

The final NRC was released on Saturday leaving out over 19 lakh applicants.

Addressing a press conference, ASU General Secretary Lurinjyoti Gogoi said the final figure of exclusion did not reach near the figures officially announced by the authorities on various occasions.

While the Chief Adviser to the All Assam Students Union (AASU) Samujjal Bhattacharya raised strong objection over the final NRC list, locals say that they are positive about the process.

They believe that the fact that the extension of filing an appeal from 60 days to 120 days to the Foreigner's Tribunal (FT) will eventually help the people.

In July last year, 40,07,707 people were excluded from the complete draft of the NRC, which contained 2,89,83,677 eligible persons out of a total 3,29,91,384 applicants.

An additional 1,02,462 persons were included in the list of excluded persons in June this year, taking the total ineligible persons to 41,10,169 in the complete draft.
