Supreme Court hearing on Assam immigrants’ petition for Section 6A of the Citizenship Act was held. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said that illegal immigrants who made it to National Register of Citizens (NRC) by fraudulent names will be deleted.
According to the sources, the Assam Government is planning for some kind of efforts to get the work done soon. Assam CM claimed that those immigrants living in Assam from before 1951 to be included in the NRC but have to take the position of the Parliament and the Assembly which agreed on the 1971 cut-off year.
Sarma said, “We are slowly preparing a big plan. We will try to delete the names of those who got included in the NRC by resorting to forgery.”
