Official says sending a large number of people to detention centres is not a ‘practical’ option
New Delhi: The Centre is not in a rush to take any decision after the final National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam was published on Saturday as the political leadership decides the next course of action.
A senior government official said there were several options available, but sending a large number of people to detention centres was not “practical”.
The Centre and the State government had filed affidavits in the Supreme Court demanding “reverification” of 20% of the names in districts bordering Bangladesh and 10% in other districts. Both requests were turned down.
‘Fair and correct’
On Saturday, Assam Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma reiterated that reverification should be allowed by the “Hon’ble Apex court for a correct and fair NRC”.
