Call for attention to excluded -Pheroze L Vincent and Basant Mohanty

-The Telegraph

New Delhi: Academics feel that the ambiguity over the fate of those who might eventually be excluded from the final National Register of Citizens in Assam should be cleared at the earliest.

Sanjib Baruah, professor of political science at New York's Bard College, told the Telegraph earlier this week: "With a number like four million people being excluded (from the draft NRC), we need the think beyond the question of the accuracy of the NRC and its procedures. Even if we assume it is accurate, surely four million people finding that their legal status in the country is suddenly uncertain, is a serious problem for any democracy."

He added: "One way in which governments act on deportation is to sign bilateral agreements for the readmission of nationals of the relevant country. Not only is there no such agreement between India and Bangladesh, by all indication, India has almost never approached the subject of deportation with Bangladesh. The Supreme Court bench that has closely supervised and monitored the process had originally directed 'the Union of India to enter into necessary discussions with the Government of Bangladesh to streamline the procedure of deportation'..... The NRC process had been completed without any progress on this part of the process."
