The Assam unit of the Congress on Thursday demanded the completion of the long-pending claims and objections process of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) via the Foreigners’ Tribunals for national identity cards to be given to all genuine citizens in the State.
About 19.06 lakh out of the 3.3 crore applicants were left out of the updated NRC published in August 2019. They were supposed to file citizenship claims at the nearest tribunal within 120 days of receiving rejection slips from the NRC authority outlining the reasons for their exclusion.
