Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said that his government has launched a drive to identify all those who have procured Aadhar card illegally without applying for inclusion of name in the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Pointing out that his government has decided to intensify the drive against immigrants, he told reporters, "We are going to start a campaign against all those who have taken Aadhaar cards and are residing in Assam without applying for NRC. We are digging deeper on another related issue for which I will make a formal announcement soon.
” He asserted that the state was also preparing a robust plan to deport illegal migrants who have entered India in recent years. He pointed out that there had been cases where people had applied for Aadhaar without applying for the National Register of Citizens (NRC), though the process has now been halted. "There are instances where people have applied for Aadhaar without applying for NRC, though we have already stopped this," he noted.
Reiterating that any individual supporting Pakistan or Bangladesh, irrespective of their religion, would not be spared, the chief minister said, “Whoever extends their support for Pakistan, whether he is a Hindu or a Muslim, I will not spare anyone. If anyone extends their support for Bangladesh, they will also face the same result.” The chief minister also issued a firm directive to the Assam Police to take strict action against individuals supporting Pakistan.
"I have given blanket orders to the Assam police not to look for faces. If anyone is found extending support to Pakistan, they should be apprehended and put under NSA charges, if needed," he affirmed. The chief minister made this remark while participating in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' program, which he attended at the BJP's Airport Mandal committee office.
The event, held at the airport's Mandal Office, was part of a nationwide broadcast in which the chief minister shared insights on key developments and ongoing initiatives in the state. Meanwhile, altogether 15 people have so far been arrested in the state for making pro-Pakistan remarks on social media..
