Kaun Jitega 2019(30.07.2018): Assam NRC draft: 2.89 crore people out of 3.29 crore applicants incorporated

Following the political parties including Congress and Trinamool Congress (TMC) criticised the final draft of Assam's National Register of Citizens (NRC), Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said that such sensitive issues should not be politicised.

The draft list, which was released today, has left out nearly 40 lakh people in Assam incorporating names of 2.89 crore people out of 3.29 crore applicants. The list has been updated for the first time since 1951, to account for illegal migration from nearby Bangladesh.
