STAFF REPORTERGUWAHATI: Leader of opposition, Assam Legislative Assembly Debabrata Saikia, clarifying that the Congress has not rejected the NRC stated, “The publication of the final NRC has elicited various reactions from political parties and political leaders. As leader of the Congress Legislature Party, I wish to make it clear that although the Congress party has pointed out certain deficiencies in the final NRC, yet we believe that the NRC marks an important preliminary step towards ridding Assam of illegal migrants. The point to be noted is that the Congress party has pointed out anomalies in the document, but it has not summarily rejected the NRC.”The Congress party had intervened more than once in the Supreme Court during the NRC update process when genuine Indian citizens faced harassment. On the contrary, the Congress is determined to utilize legitimate means on offer to ensure that genuine Indian citizens obtain justice and are included in the NRC.
