Minority organisations in Assam apprehend a large-scale exclusion from the final National Register of Citizens (NRC) to be published on July 31. Another 1.02 lakh names were removed from the NRC and put on an additional exclusion list on June 26, but they were allowed to reapply. There is a conspiracy to deliberately keep certain communities out of the NRC,” said a leader of the All Assam Minority Students’ Union. The NRC authority had listed 15 documents as admissible for applying for inclusion in the updated NRC. But Prateek Hajela, State Coordinator for the NRC, trimmed the list to 10 documents last year.
