NRC

The issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators has been the biggest issue in the country since independence. For this only the NRC is being applied in the country. Today we discussed about the NRC. The full form of NRC is National Register of Citizenship. NRC is specially made for ASSAM but on 20^th November 2019, Home Minister Amit Shah declared during a parliament session that NRC is applied on entire country. NRC was first applied in Assam on 1951. The NRC is a roaster of all citizens who have been living in Assam since before 24 March 1971, which was later demanded to be updated by the “All Assam Student Union” in 1975. For this, all those who came to Assam after the formation of Bangladesh i.e. 24 March 1971, were called Refugees. The preaching of the Assam accord was to identify the foreigners, according to All Assam Student Union cause of the refugees they were faced criminal incidents there and their rights were being abused also.

Data:

A total of 1200 crore rupees, 55000 officers attended and 64.4million documents were checked to collect data of NRC.

For this, the government has formed two groups “Group A and B”, which have different documents, by showing which you can prove yourself a citizen of Assam.
