Guwahati: Expressing annoyances over a State government chief’s disorderly comments against the process of citizens’ scanning under the direction of Supreme Court of India, the Patriotic People’s Front Assam (PPFA) urges everyone to exercise restrain while commenting over the National Register of Citizens (NRC) updation in Assam.
The forum, at the same time, appreciated the people of Assam for their political maturity, they have shown in the time of many divisive forces’ unwanted designs to divide the greater Assamese society in the linguistic and religious lines.
“Denouncing all kinds of speculation, floated by various local, national and international elements about impending disturbance & violence after the publication of final NRC draft, the habitants of Assam have shown utmost sensitivity,” said a statement issued by the PPFA.
But contrary to the restrain and greatness of the greater Assamese society few political party leaders, including West Bengal chief minister Mamata Bannerjee, has tried their best to garner political mileages out of it. The Trinamool Congress chief even did not hesitate to make comments indirectly disobeying the SC for personal gains, it added.
It may be noted that Ms Mamata has influenced a number of opposition political parties to raise voices against the NRC updation in Assam and the Parliament witnessed uproars for many days. She went on speaking that the Bhartiya Janata Party led governments in New Delhi and Dispur were hatching conspiracies against the Bengali (read Muslim) people of Assam. She even predicted colossal disturbances after the NRC draft publication, but later simply changed her version.
Urging Ms Mamata to maintain due honour to the SC, the PPFA argued that she should take the lead in compiling a comprehensive NRC (as many Kolkata based politicians are demanding now) for the whole country with the basis of 1951 and in need she may ask for necessary expertise from Assam, as the State has successfully completed the final draft of NRC under the guidance of the apex court.
