BUP dissatisfied with Assam Citizens list

Releasing Assam's National Register
of Citizens (NRC) left the state's ruling
party lashing out. The BJP stated the
list missed many genuine citizens,
especially refugees who migrated from
Bangladesh before 1971. The names
of the refugees have not been included
in the NRC because authorities refused
to accept the refugee certificates. The
BJP MLA Silditya Dev said, "The NRC
was part of a conspiracy to keep
Hindus out and help Muslims... The
BJP will now protect Hindus with the
Citizenship bill." The Assam NRC
released on Saturday excludes over 19
lakh people, who will now have to fight
a case to prove they have been in Assam for decades
