There is still confusion over the stand of the Government on the National Register of Citizens (NRC) published on August 31 and it seems that the Central and State Governments have difference of opinion on the citizenship document, Assam Tribune reported on October 8. While, the Government of India has been defending the NRC at different platforms in the national and international level, senior Ministers of Assam and functionaries of the State unit of the ruling BJP have been criticizing it. The State unit of the BJP has been criticizing the NRC and alleged that names of Indian nationals were left out of it, while, names of large number of foreigners were included. Though the State Government has not officially rejected the NRC, senior Ministers of the State Cabinet spoke out openly against it and asserted that the Government would approach the Supreme Court seeking re-verification of the names included and excluded. On the other hand, the Central Government has been supporting the NRC in different platforms. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) brought out a list of achievements on the completion of 100 days in office by the NDA Government in its second term in office and among the achievements in the North East region, publication of the NRC was on the top of the list. The list of achievements also said that the Government of India has given approval on principle for setting up of one thousand new Foreigners' Tribunals in the State and approval has been given for creation of E-FT platform.
