Guwahati, Sep 1 : Not only one, two, three or five, six, 50 persons of a single family have been excluded from the final National Register of Citizens (NRC), which was published on August 31 by leaving out more than 19 lakh people.
52-year-old Ahmad Hussain – a primary school teacher and his entire family members including at least 15 children left out from the final NRC list.
Ahmad Hussain and his family members including 7 brothers are living at Nichanchar village under Baghbor assembly constituency in Assam's Barpeta district.
During the NRC application submitting process, they had used 1951 legacy data of the late father of Harmuj Ali Bhuyan and other documents.
And interestingly, the entire family excluding a brother of Ahmad Hussain was included the earlier draft NRC list, but they were left out from the final NRC.
The excluded person from the earlier draft NRC was Abdul Baten – one brother of Ahmad Hussain.
When the NRC authority served hearing notice to Abdul Baten, he had used 1966 legacy data of late Harmuj Ali Bhuyan.
Ahmad Hussain doubted that, difference of the legacy data of 1951 and 1966 is the main reason for it.
The entire family is now worried after their names were not listed in the final NRC list.
"We have found that, not a single member of our family listed in the final NRC which was published yesterday. There are 50 members in our family. We had used our father's legacy data of 1951. Our family members name were listed in the earlier draft NRC, but one of brother's name was not included. When he applied second time, he used 1966 legacy data. For it, we were served several notices. We had appeared in hearings four times. But our names were not listed in the final NRC. We are now frustrated. We are worried about it. We will apply again following the government instructions," Ahmad Hussain said.
