It is India’s business to figure out how to absorb both Kashmir and keep a lid on NRC in Assam. But if growth continues to falter, watch the world begin to grumble.
NRC has achieved little — except to create panic in Assam, give India a bad name, eat into SC's time, cost over Rs 1100 crore & give BJP a dangerous tool.
Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy backs Bengal NRC but brother Sougata Roy of TMC opposes it. It's a similar tale for TMC's Sugata Bose & BJP's Chandra Bose.
Implementation of the National Register of Citizens in West Bengal was one of BJP's chief poll planks, especially in the northern parts of the state bordering Bangladesh.
The proposed amendment to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code aims to reduce timelines and provide for a mechanism that involves minimal interaction with the court. It fails on both counts.
Open to public feedback until 26 November, the revised guidelines, among other changes, give CA firms more flexibility to advertise & promote their services.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
The identification of a citizen is decided on a certificate issued by a government employee. We know well how these guys work. Anything can be done if you grease them. Hence there should be a proper vigilant system before you decide one is a foreigner. If you cannot scrap the system. Start afresh from today. Put the nation first.
Yogendra yadav is right the Supreme Coirt messed up the NRC. I had already shown in another news magazine how the Supreme Court has failed to monitor the upgradation exercise. When Hazela told the Court that the legacy data, which is the key to prove one’s citizenship, was being bought and sold, the Court did not do much.
But the worst is the Court virtually made all the residents of Assam suspects by asking them to prove that they were citizens of India. This is ansult to the citizens of Assam.
When The Bjp govt has already declared that all nonMuslims will be offered citizenship in india, is it necessary to process nrc for hindu people? Why not do it for identifying illegal muslims immigrants only.
If majority of muslims were excluded fron NRC..the same peoples would hail CJI and Government….Such nasty peoples out there…How to aspect justice in present scenerio????
NRC is an exercise to identify ciizens, not to detect foreigners. So all those objections about not enough foreigners detected are meaningless. In such a large exercise, there are bound to be errors, and all those left out have scope to appeal. If at the end of such appeals, the number left out is only a few lakhs, it does not mean that only a few lakhs of foreigners have been detected. One would assume that all those who applied are citizens, and so the 1.9 million left out may all get included. What about foreigners? The obvious answer is: they did not apply! If I was a foreigner, I would definitely not apply, as, if I do not get included, I will be found out!
The other objection is that a lot of fraud has taken place and many foreigners have sneaked in using forged documents. While this cannot be completely discounted, it is not correct to make this allegation without going through and understanding the processes of cross-verification that the NRC system has undertaken. The innovative way the family data has been used needs to be looked into by those objecting. A simple example: If you, person A, claim that B is your father, you have to also list your brothers and sisters. You list them as C and D, since this information is available to you. Now the cross check is to see if C and D have listed A as their brother or not. So, to commit this fraud, not only do you have to get forged documents and falsify data, you have to also convince C and D to include you, A, as their brother.
Other things being equal, since honourable CJI is – the charming Indian word is hails – from Assam, it would have been decorous to have recused himself from this very emotive case. Instead, the apex court has charged in, afterburners aflame. Now the clean up will have to start. It gladdens my compassionate heart that there will be no deportations. Still, immense human agony can be avoided if the Supreme Court sets out to undo the damage. No national NRC for sure.
It is very shameful that an Indian has to prove to be an Indian citizen in his own motherland India .
