“I was called to the NRC sewa kendra in Chaygaon last week and asked to provide copies of the FT opinion, which declared me as foreigner, and my bail order from detention camp. Due to that I was hopeful that there might be some last minute change and my name would get included in the Final NRC. But that didn’t happen. Along with my name, names of my daughters, Shahnaz Akhtar and Hilmina Akhtar, and my son, Saeed Akhtar are also missing from the final list. We will wait for disposal of my appeal in High Court before taking any other recourse,” Sanaullah told Hindustan Times.
The final NRC list was released on August 31 which excluded 19.06 lakhs people.
As per reports, Sanaullah served the Indian Army for 30 years. He had also received the President’s Medal in 2014. Later, Sanaullah joined the Border Police in 2018. Sanaullah hails from Kolohi village in Chaygaon.
