ICLU doesn’t just make announcements.
#AssamDay2: Ikrabari VCDC, Udalguri
Almost 300 people left out of #NRC were provided free legal aid and training in helping others by us & students of NLU-Assam
The stories we are bringing from these areas show how badly NRC was conducted ImageImageImage
About 2 million people facing statelessness causing helpless on a unprecedented scale, Team ICLU led by @Vakeel_Sb will act as an organization that helps in litigation & provides assistance for lawyers/paralegals/students/common people filing appeals to the Foreign Tribunals. ImageImageImage
Our effort is just a drop in the ocean & each one of us will have to come together and we have to make every effort ensure a fair process is followed in determination of their citizenship status

Our team yesterday visited Gendikhatta in Uttarakhand to speak to the community leaders of van gujjars. They're a nomadic community with their idea of home being threatened by successive governments. We spoke at length about how to get their documents in order.
Upon discussion we have realised that they're amongst the most vulnerable communities with lack of basic documentations as the only document they were earlier given were forest permits which only mentions the head of family. Even these permits are not being issued anymore.
Our team held a lengthy discussion with these leaders and we came back with an assurance that these leaders will speak to their community and create awareness about NRC+NPR. We have promised them all support in pro bono manner.
Yesterday's visit was a trust building exercise.

18L out of #NRC in #Assam are going to be imprisoned here. Some of them are being used as labor to build these detention centres. Are liberal Indians silent because 15L of 18L are Hindus? Don't they even care about the 3L Muslims? And 90% of the 18L are citizens. Not immigrants.
Members of the foreign tribunals in Assam are hired with huge salaries & perks to kick maximum out of #NRC. If they don't meet a quota they are given a bad report & fired. One member said they love their perks but up to 14L kicked out EASILY are citizens

Quite unforgivable how some lawyers have been misleading the public on #CAA. The 15L Hindus out of Assam #NRC will have to prove their religion & Bangladeshi citizenship before CAA can be applied. WHY or HOW will they do that when they are Indians? Thread

1. Provision for #NRC is there in Sec 14A of Citizenship Act for long (wef 2004) though except for Assam, where implemented under SC directions, no rules exist setting out criteria for inclusion or exclusion of names.

2. Statement of HM "NRC Ayega" actually says nothing new.
3. #CAA may be constitutional/unconstitutional/fair/unfair... It would be determined in 50 Plus Petitions in SC (neither in Social Media nor on streets).

4. CAA applies to defined group of Illegal Migrants who came prior to Dec 31, 2014. Not criteria for all times to come.
5. CAA divides Illegal Migrants into two. Some Non Muslim Illegal Migrants would get into NRC (WHEN IT COMES) in view of benefits under CAA. Muslim & Other Non Muslim Illegal Migrants left out of CAA won't.

6. No point shedding tears for latter as they are Illegal anyway.

THREAD ON WHY CITIZENSHIP AMENDMENT BILL IS OF NO USE AND ACTUALLY HARMFUL FOR BENGALIS :
(People supporting or opposing the bill should go through the below points first and then make their own inferences) 👇
1) First let us know what is Citizenship Amendment Bill. Here's what Wikipedia says : Image
2) Majority of people left out of NRC are legal Indians who settled in the Assam prior to 24th March, 1971 (cut off date of NRC). How can CAB benifit them as they are already citizens but could not get their names enlisted in NRC due to anomalies by the concerned authorities?

Before elections, use #NRC as a tool of propaganda, @AmitShah used it in election rallies.
When it turns out, the BJP's own support base is caught, suddenly they aren't termites anymore.
Like Demonetisation & GST, another botched up venture by the BJP.
@AmitShah Years ago, MMS proposed the Indo - Bangla Land Border Agreement, to exchange the adverse land holdings the two countries had in each others territories.
The rational was, better & more effective vigilance of the border, thus preventing illegal migration.
The BJP & Modi specifically opposed the Indo - Bangla LBA, vociferously & just for the heck of it.
@SSAhluwaliaMP & other BJP leaders held Tiranga hoisting programs on border outposts, not a inch of Indian territory will be ceded, they said.

news.vice.com/en_us/article/… Everyone left off the #NRC will face Assam's foreigners tribunals. How do they work?
My investigation with @VICE and @typeinvestigate done over six months, analysing 500+ tribunal judgements received through #RTI. Do read.
@VICE @typeinvestigate 78% of the orders were issued without the accused present, known as an ex-parte judgement. In one tribunal, this was the case in every single judgment.
@VICE @typeinvestigate In 515 judgments analysed, about 82% of people on trial were declared foreigners. The numbers varied widely; one foreigners tribunal declared all its cases Indian, while another declared every person tried a foreigner.

The same Fraud as Sylhet Referendum.
#NRC
If anyone interested in knowing what's the "Fraud of Sylhet referendum" was all about and how same Assam machinery played the game, do read this thread.

Good to see @derekobrienmp finally being able to see ground reality away from his earlier stance after Church window was broken and cry out Intolerance.

It's Hindus (Bengalis) who have been facing intolerance from first partition of Bengal till date.
