Kargil veteran, MLA out of list
On a day when the final National Register of Citizens (NRC) list was published in Assam, several stories surfaced from the State about the toll that the NRC took on some applicants.
Consumed by the grief on a rumour that she lost citizenship, a 60-year-old woman ended her life by jumping into a well on Saturday, reported AP. Residents rushed to rescue her but she could not be saved. After a few hours, it was known that she had “passed” the NRC test with her name not being excluded.
In another case, a resident of Guwahati found that his younger son was left of the NRC list with his three family members making it. There are many such stories of children being left out, but parents in.
Some prominent names who are left out the NRC are Kargil war hero retired Army officer Mohammad Sanaullah, AIUDF MLA Ananta Kumar Malo and his son, former AIUDF MLA Ataur Rahman Majharbhuyan, and the daughter of Dalgaon Congress MLA Ilias Ali.
