Guwahati, Aug 31 (IANS): Over 19 lakh people have been left out of the final list of National Register of Citizens (NRC) of Assam, which was released on Saturday morning.

Some 19,06,677 people have been excluded from the final list, which names 3,11,21,004 people as Indian citizens.

The NRC has immense significance for the people of Assam as the state witnessed a six-year-long movement between 1979 to 1985 seeking detection and deportation of illegal Bangladeshis.

The process of updation of NRC is being carried out by the Registrar General of India, and is being monitored by the Supreme Court.

The draft NRC, which was published last year, excluded names of 40,07,707 people from the document due to some discrepancies in their documents. Over 36 lakh of them applied afresh to get their names included in the final NRC.

The government has assured that the people left out of the final NRC will not be detained and they can appeal against their exclusion in the Foreigners' Tribunals (FT) and subsequently move higher courts.

The Assam government will establish 400 Foreigners' Tribunals in the state to deal with such appeals.

    We should appreciate all people involved in NRC. The Indian population got reduced by 11 lacs in a stroke. The home minister promised that this will be done throughout India. Hope this makes the country's population by half. Now agitation should be there in each state for doing NRC

    The BJP-RSS dream project of NRC is full of flaws.
    Citizenship by birth. Any person born in India on or after 26 January 1950, but prior to the commencement of the 1986 Act on 1 July 1987, is a citizen of India by birth. A person born in India on or after 1 July 1987 is a citizen of India if either parent was a citizen of India at the time of the birth.
    The cut-off line itself for Assam itself is the biggest flaw of the entire process. The Assam has seen many demographic changes since independence. The migrant workers since the days of British Raj who employed in Tea, Jute other manufacturing units for decades now refugee in their own country.
    In a rather bizarre case, a Foreigners’ Tribunal in eastern Assam's Jorhat has declared Muzibur Rahman, a serving assistant sub-inspector of the Border Security Force (BSF) and his wife as foreigners.
    The list also includes former President of India's family members, retired civil servants, retired bureaucrats families and so on. The final list prepared in hush separates mother from children, husband from wife, grandparents from grandchildren.......
    Over 19 lakh people declared foreigner by the tribunal, India government have no agreement with Bangladesh these people future looks bleak. Such a big population in overcrowded detention center fate looks like 'Nazi' concentration camp.

    India is not a signatory of the International human rights conventions, immigrant policies majority of this 19 lakh people either end up dying in the detention camp without food, medicine, hygiene, and overcrowding. Perhaps secret ethnic cleansing of BJP-RSS second plan may not be ruled out.

    In any democracy, the identity of the citizen is the responsibility of the state. In Assam, the constitution is different than rest of India.
