GUWAHATI: A minority group on Wednesday lodged an FIR towards BJP legislator from Assam Shiladitya Dev for allegedly announcing that the primary draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) incorporates the names of many unlawful migrants from Bangladesh.
"It's sad that Dev, despite being a public representative, made a such wrong statement. He has disrespected the Supreme Court which is monitoring the NRC updation process. By making such a statement, he is trying to fuel enmity among people of various communities living in the state on religion lines," mentioned Moinul Haque, the general secretary of All Assam Goriya-Molriya Yuva Chatra Parishad (AAGMYCP), the group which lodged the FIR.
The (AAGMYCP), a formative years and scholar council of indigenous Muslims within the state, alleged that Dev's observation was controversial supposed to create confusion amongst other people. Police commissioner Hiren Nath mentioned, "Based on the FIR, Latasil Police have registered a case and action will be taken." A supply mentioned, "Since Dev allegedly made these statements on TV channels, police are not collecting audio-visual clippings. In such cases, a convict is punished with imprisonment which may extend up to to three years with fine or both."
Dev, whose name didn't determine within the first draft of NRC, had previous mentioned, "My father, wife and son have featured in the draft. Only my name is not there. I can well understand the tremendous pressure under which those involved in the NRC update process were working. So, I am not concerned about my name going missing in the first draft." He went on to mention that mistakes are made even throughout the preparation of electoral rolls.
