Myth of Illegal Immigrants Busted Post-NRC: AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi

New Delhi, August 31, 2019:

All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief Asaduddin Owaisi lambasted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) saying it should learn some lessons from what has happened in the northeastern state after the publication of the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Asaduddin Owaisi also said that the BJP should stop calling for such exercise throughout the country.

Referring to the exclusion of 19 lakh people from the final draft of NRC, Owaisi added, “BJP should learn a lesson. They should stop asking for NRC throughout the country in terms of Hindus and Muslims. They should learn from what has happened in Assam. The so-called myth of illegal migrants has been busted.

The AIMIM chief further pointed at the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and asked him to explain how he came to know of 40 lakh illegal migrants? What of the fear-mongering of some districts becoming Muslim majority?

Owaisi further expressed doubts that the BJP through Citizen Amendment Bill may bring a bill wherein it can try to give citizenship to all non-Muslims, which will again be a violation of Right to Equality.

The AIMIM chief also mentioned about the Kargil War veteran Mohammad Sanaullah who was excluded from the NRC whose case is pending in High Court.

A total of 3,11,21,004 persons have been found eligible for inclusion in the final NRC list while 19,06,657 are left out.
