Deport people from Assam whose names not in NRC: Raman

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh on Friday called for deportation of people whose names did not appear in the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam.

The Chief Minister said that the NRC is the result of an eight-year-long protest by Assamese youth to drive out the illegal immigrants from Assam.

Either the 40 lakh people should prove their identity or go back, he said.

“Is our country a 'Dharamshala' that people from outside will keep on entering here. They must be deported and people have been identified for deportation,” Singh said.
