NRC Assam News
Disenfranchisement may be the first possible step against those whose names will not be part of the final list of the NRC to be published after the claims and objections window comes to an end this week, officials said Sunday.
The bench asked Attorney General K K Venugopal, appearing for the Centre, and other stakeholders to file their response on the report of Hajela in two weeks and posted the matter for further hearing on September 19.
Raveesh Kumar added that the release of the NRC draft in Assam has not affected the relationship between the two neighbouring countries.
Banerjee had warned of violence in Assam if the issue was not resolved.
Tejashwi, however, mentioned that there is nothing greater than humanity. "Just think, if the NRIs living outside are subjected to the same, where will they go?," he said.
The opposition to the NRC is opportunistic and is coming from politicians who have repeatedly raised the illegal immigrant issue.
Creating undesirable social tensions or starting controversial deportations of poor people does not suit an aspiring power like India.
