The BJP and an Opposition led by Mamata Banerjee have entered into a war of words over the exclusion of 40 lakh people from the final draft of NRC in Assam. While BJP chief Amit Shah thundered over the rights of Assamese, Mamata Banerjee has warned that there will be bloodbath and civil war in the country if the controversial list is not rolled back. Shah demanded that all parties make their stand clear on infiltration from Bangladesh and accused Mamata Banerjee of compromising national security to garner votes. He assured that the objections of the 40 lakh people left out will be heard and no Indian citizen will be excluded from the final list. The Supreme Court on Tuesday also said that no coercive action should be taken against those whose names are not there in the NRC of Assam as it is only a draft. Justice Ranjan Gogoi said that Centre should frame standard operating procedure (SOP) to deal with claims and objection, and the SOP should be placed before the bench by August 16 for approval. “We will see if it is fair or not. Then only we will decide. If something needs to be done, we will do it,” Gogoi said, adding that their ‘silence is agreement nor rejection nor assurance’.
