Guwahati, Dec 10 : In a significant revelation, the National Register of Citizens’ (NRC) Assam state coordinator has told that the Gauhati High Court claimed that there might be 2.77 lakh “undeserving” names in the list, released on August 31 last year, excluding the names of over 19 lakh persons, officials said on Thursday.
Assam’s NRC Coordinator Hitesh Dev Sarma, following the court’s direction in October, submitted a detailed affidavit, saying that the NRC published in August last year was only a “supplementary list” and the final document is yet to published by the Registrar General of India (RGI).
The affidavit said: “Considering the fact that 1,02,462 names deleted through ‘incidental verification’ of 27 per cent of the draft NRC, one definitely cannotignore the remaining 73 per cent unverified results where there may be 2.77 lakhs undeserving names in the NRC going by the same arithmetic.”
