‘A large number of the 19 lakh people excluded from the Assam register were Hindus’
Raising questions on the final list of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh on Monday said its “shortcomings” should be removed and all Bangladeshi infiltrators who had found a place in it on the basis of forged documents should be excluded.
At its annual coordination meeting in Rajasthan’s pilgrim town, senior members of the RSS and its affiliate groups expressed concern over the “genuine citizens”, majority of them from the Hindu community, being left out of the NRC. A large number of the 19 lakh people excluded from the register were Hindus, said the RSS office-bearers.
While asking the government to rectify the NRC list before moving forward, the RSS affirmed that cultural assimilation in the border areas of north-eastern and western States had led to “forcible conversion” of people to Christianity and Islam.
RSS Sah-Sarakaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale told reporters on the final day of the coordination meeting that though the NRC was a “very complex issue” because of a large number of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh settled in Assam, the government had to comply with the Supreme Court’s direction to complete the exercise in a stipulated time.
