The many hurdles in proving citizenship
Apart from the floods in Assam, an annual event affecting thousands of families, another humanitarian crisis awaits the State this year. The future of the four million excluded so far, a number that might reduce when the final list is published on July 31, provides the foundation for the impending human crisis awaiting Assam. Their names are excluded from the NRC unless they can establish their credentials before a Foreigner’s Tribunal. The border police, present in every police station, picks up people, often poor workers in cities, fingerprints them, and then informs them in writing that they must appear before a Foreigner’s Tribunal. In a statement in the Lok Sabha on July 2, the Minister of State for Home Affairs, G. Kishan Reddy, said that from 1985 to February 2019, 63,959 people had been declared foreigners in ex parte rulings.
