AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal urges intellectuals to ensure final NRC accepted as document for resolving foreigners' issue in Assam

Guwahati: AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal on Sunday appealed to intellectuals to come forward and ensure that the final NRC is accepted as a document to resolve the foreigners’ issue in Assam. The NRC was updated following the demand of people and all political parties of Assam, and the nearly five-year-long intensive exercise to prepare it under the supervision of the Supreme Court should not be rejected outright as is being done by most stakeholders, Ajmal said in a statement. “There are certain forces that have outrightly rejected the NRC and in such circumstances, prominent citizens, particularly intellectuals, must come forward to ensure that Assam, which has remained backwards for the past 40 years, do not face new problems,” the Lok Sabha MP from Dhubri said. “The NRC is going to be a strong document which will help in resolving the foreigners’ issue and everybody should accept it,” the All India United Democratic Front chief said.
