"Large numbers of infiltrators from East Pakistan entered into Assam and different northeastern states," Ram Madhav told a press convention here.

"When the NRC used to be to be ready through a pilot undertaking in 2010, the infiltrators engineered protests against it. Citing those anti-NRC protests as an excuse, the Tarun Gogoi govt halted the NRC update," he stated.
"It is the BJP govt led by Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal that has revived the NRC update. It is on the verge of completion now. How can they who backed out from the NRC update, preach us on it now?" the BJP leader asked.
He stated that it used to be the Congress which used to be harming the interests of the Northeast and the country as a whole. "We are dedicated to protect the identification, culture and heritage of the folks of the area and we are going to put in force Clause 6 of the Assam Accord," he stated.
