Former Assam CM’s name not in NRC draft

Guwahati (Assam), 3 Aug 2018

In another major omission that has come to light, former Assam Chief Minister Syeda Anwara Taimur’s name has not been included in the complete draft of National Register of Citizens (NRC), sources said.

She is currently on a foreign trip and hence could not be contacted.

Following publication of the NRC draft on July 30, reports are still emerging how major omissions have been made in inclusion of names, while those suspected and even pronounced as foreigners have made it to the draft, thereby proving that the update process has not been foolproof.

As already reported by InsideNE, former President of India Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed’s kin have also not made it to the draft.
