“They bring up new issues in recent time and have been seen attacking the state coordinator Prateek Hajela. We all know that some technical issues have let to the exclusion of the names of the people which can be corrected. The Congress party urges them not to panic but have patience. The weaker section of the society need not worry, they just need to approach the FTs and our party volunteers will also help in the legal support,” he added.

The Congress leader added, “The BJP party has targeted a particular community based on religion and this has been prevailing from a long time. BJP is maintaining communal politics that is dividing the Hindus and the Muslims. They are trying to mislead the people in the name of the NRC.”
