ShutterstockThe Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the Centre and the Assam government's prayer for a sample reverification of names included in the draft National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the northeastern state. “This reverification business should not be started because this is an endless process,” said Fuzail Ahmad Ayyubi, the Supreme Court advocate representing AAMSU. The petition in the Supreme Court last time also attached a memorandum submitted to the President by a little-known NGO called Sachetan Nagarik Mancha. So, we are not satisfied with the Supreme Court order today because this re-verification is very important." “Just yesterday, they arrested a Rohingya whose name was included in the NRC list,” he said, although the NRC state coordinator in a statement on Monday has denied any such inclusion in the NRC draft list.
