GUWAHATI: The
Congress' claim on "faulty"
NRC draft of Assam has been vindicated by the Supreme Court rebuking the registrar general of India and NRC state coordinator and directing them to concentrate on preparing an error-free citizen's register, former chief minister Tarun Gogoi said on Thursday.
Alleging that the officials were under pressure from the RSS and BJP, Gogoi claimed that the apex court had doubts about the integrity of the NRC authorities. Gogoi also accused the BJP of giving importance to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, and not to the National Register of Citizens (NRC). "We have been saying that the draft NRC is full of errors and the SC's directive to the officials that they have the responsibility to prepare a correct NRC, proves our claim," he told reporters.
