Ranjan Gogoi blasts Assam government over NRC confusion

GUWAHATI: Coming down heavily on the Assam Government, Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi said that the state government was creating confusion in the final draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

The CJI said, “How can people have confidence in Assam Government? You are creating confusion.”

Ranjan Gogoi further pointed out, “40 lakh people were not included in Assam NRC means they are prima facie foreigners, but tribunals have declared only 52,000 as foreigners and only 162 have been deported. We are very disappointed.”

The Supreme Court also declined to extend the publishing of final NRC list beyond July 31.
