Yuba Parishad (SAGYP) said: “We welcome the move for publication of the draft NRC by December 31 this year. We find no reason to shed tears by the Muslims of Assam for Bangladeshis getting no berth in the NRC in the interest of jaati, maati and bheti. NRC is not going to decide dual citizenship, nor will it categorize citizens as Goriyas, Moriyas, Karbis, Boros, Kacharis, Dimasas and the like. It’s only going to ensure citizenship. It’s just recognition from the Government of India to its illegal citizens in Assam. There’s no reason to panic on the issue of citizenship. Some vested interests have been out to create panic people on NRC update and ‘OI’ tag.”
