Supreme Court should allow re-verification for ‘correct and fair NRC’: Himanta Biswa Sarma

August 31: State Finance Minister and BJP heavy weight leader Himanta Biswa Sarma took to his twitter handle and alleged that  names of many Indian citizens who migrated from Bangladesh as refugees prior to 1971 have not been included in the NRC because authorities refused to accept refugee certificates. Many names got included because of manipulation of legacy data as alleged by many.

I reiterate that as requested by Central and State governments at least 20% reverification (bordering districts) and 10% re-verification(remaining districts) should be allowed by Honble Apex court for a correct and fair NRC. 2/2
