Citizens List Faulty, Will Move Top Court Again: BJP's Himanta Sarma
Assam Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today termed the National Register of Citizens (NRC) list released this morning as "faulty", and said that the ruling BJP will approach the Supreme Court again to seek reverification in certain parts of the state. "BJP supports the NRC exercise, but we feel that there are certain lacunae that should have been plugged. The centre and the Assam government have requested the Supreme Court to allow 20 per cent reverification in districts that border Assam and 10 per cent in others," the BJP leader told NDTV, adding that the "war" was far from over.
