According to the release, the walls do also have ears too, nothing is confidential now.
As per Assam Nagrik Moncha sources, Hajela gave many strict directions to the officers orally.
And, if this oral orders are being really followed and implemented then in the final draft of NRC more than 20 lakhs Bengalis’ names will be cut and 90 per cent of which will be Hindu Bengalis.
According to Assam Nagrik Mancho it is a matter of concern.
So through this press communique they have attracted the attention of Supreme Court, Central Government, State Government, state coordinator Prateek Hajela and the organizations which filed petitions in Supreme court in relation to NRC.
The organization have requested all to take back the oral directions given to NRC officials to safeguard the Bengalis who were the victims of partition and now are in ‘danger zone’ of NRC.
