Dutta said, “People should not worry even if they do not find their names in the NRC. We have not lost faith in the process of NRC update and the government has already assured that those who do not find their names in the final draft NRC will get the chance to apply again for inclusion of their names. The need of the hour is to maintain peace and harmony and cooperate with the government.”
However, Dutta demanded the government to stop harassment of Bengali speaking Indians in the name of ‘D’ voter and also throwing them to the detention camp.
He reiterated that BUFA would launch a democratic movement if Bengali speaking genuine Indians are harassed and deprived of their rights.
