Assam BJP, Opposition Unhappy With Final List Of NRC

The opposition on Saturday expressed concern over the exclusion of over 19 lakh people from the NRC in Assam and said steps should be taken to ensure that no Indian citizen is left out, while the state BJP said it does not trust the updated list and a legislation will be brought to safeguard the interest of genuine applicants. Congress chief Sonia Gandhi held discussions with top functionaries on issues related to the National Register of Citizens (NRC), after the updated final list of the register was released on Saturday, and leaders said the party stands by those excluded and will provide them legal aid.
