Guwahati : All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) leader Samujjal Bhattacharya on Saturday expressed his displeasure with the final outcome with the National Register of Citizens (NRC).Bhattacharya said that for 40 years, the people of Assam, have sought a solution for the vexed problem of illegal immigration.“The exclusion figure which is out today is not near to the number that is declared by the Central and State Governments”, he complained, adding that “we are not running after the figure, but we expected more”.Stating that the solution to solving this vexed problem lies in the Assam Accord, he added that any attempt to violate the clauses of the Assam Accord will be opposed by the people of Assam”, he said. “The Central and the State Governments have failed us miserably”, he lamented.The AASU leader said that he will appeal before the Supreme Court of India for “immediate measures”, adding that he has ‘full faith’ in the Supreme Court. “Perhaps there is some ‘error’ in the NRC, or perhaps it is incomplete.

For remedial measures, we will approach the Supreme Court of India”, he added.Earlier, Samujjal Bhattacharya had slammed some “communal forces” for trying to disrupt the NRC process. The student leader had alleged that “some forces are trying to protect the Hindu Bangladeshi votebanks, and the Muslim Bangladeshi votebanks. They should stop doing that”.Meanwhile ,Hindu, Muslim organisations raise credibility concerns. In a surprising turn of events, Hindu and Muslim groups find themselves on the same page ahead of the publication of the final list of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) on Saturday. Both groups have expressed serious concern that many might find themselves excluded from the final list and have thus threatened to agitate. Significantly, ethnic groups in Assam, which have been demanding the NRC update, have kept a safe distance from such concerns. Ex-CM Tarun Gogoi not happy with NRCTarun Gogoi, former chief minister of Assam, said that he was not happy with the way National Register of Citizens final list has been published. He said that many Indians had been excluded and a large number of foreigners were included. “This will lead to much more problem now.” he said.”The Home Ministry has miserably failed to prepare the NRC. Now they are trying to hoodwink the people,” he added. He also said that the final list was a failure of the state government.
