NRC Should Be Implemented In States Like Assam, West Bengal, And Bihar To Identify Illegal Infiltration: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on September 15 stated that it is important to have a robust mechanism to identify illegal immigrants, particularly in states like Assam, West Bengal, and Bihar.

Illegal Immigration Is One Of The Biggest Problems That Our Nation Is Facing Today: Assam CM

Speaking to media persons in Bihar, CM Sarma said, “Illegal immigration is one of the biggest problems that our nation is facing today. Rohingyas in huge numbers are crossing the borders to almost every day.”

“We have seen the large scale of inflation in Assam, West Bengal, and Bihar and at present, demography is fast changing those regions where these illegal immigrants take refuge or shelter. Owing to these reasons, I personally feel that the National Register of Citizens (NRC) at some point will be necessary as we are becoming the sufferer of this changing demography,” the Chief Minister further added.

“I feel NRC should be implemented in states like Assam, West Bengal, and Bihar to identify illegal infiltration, or else the entire eastern side will change completely,” CM Sarma concluded.
