One year after the #AssamNRC, what is the fate of the 19 lakh excluded? @TeestaSetalvad in conversation with @alijamser #CJPforAssam facebook.com/cjpindia/video…
.@alijamser says that after a six year long process involving thousands of government employees, the 19 lakh plus people excluded from the #AssamNRC are yet to be given the reason for their exclusion #CJPforAssam
.@alijamser says that despite this being a Supreme Court monitored process and the fact that is was based on government documents, the Registrar General of India (RGI) is yet to issue notification accepting the #AssamNRC #CJPforAssam
Some utter nonsense is peddled wrt #assamnrc. Illegal immigrants r determined by the IMDT Act 1983, which was introduced by Indira Gandhi in 1983 midway during assam agitation (1979-85). 1/n
#assamnrc between 1983 & 2019 NRC update, 1.17 lakh people r declared "illegal immigrants". Another 2 lakh cases under IMDT Act r pending taking total to 3 lakh. Over 1 lakh already lost voting rights as per 1997 HC order. 2/n
It means, there were 3 lakh declared/suspected illegal immigrants till #assamnrc was published. Over 1 lakh lost voting rights since 1997. And Guwahati HC denied citizenship to children of illegal immigrants. 3/n
