Former Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi on Thursday expressed apprehension that the NRC will not be error-free. He alleged that the BJP, which is in power at the Centre and in the state, is not interested in publishing an error-free NRC. Gogoi’s apprehension has come at a time the Supreme Court, which is monitoring the NRC update exercise, has set July 31 as the deadline to publish the final NRC. BJP spokesperson Mominul Awal said the state government is providing all necessary infrastructure for the NRC update process. “Under supervision of the Supreme Court, the people are hopeful of getting an error-free NRC,” he said.
