NEW DELHI: Assam chief minister and BJP‘s state election co-in-charge Himanta Biswa Sarma addressed the demographic issue in Jharkhand stating that “NRC (National Register of Citizens) will be done and the people whose names will not be there in NRC, we will have to push them away to Bangladesh.”
“This will be our policy. Everyone will get the opportunity to present their side when NRC is done,” he told news agency ANI in Hazaribagh on Friday.
Sarma said that during the NRC process the authorities will follow all legal procedures and “if you cannot prove yourself that you are an Indian citizen, then we will push you to Bangladesh through the legal route.”
The Assam CM further continued that in Assam, one round of the process has been completed and they have identified 14 lakh people.
“We have requested the Supreme Court to let us do it one more time. If we get permission for the second revision from the Supreme Court, then that number will increase further,” he added.
