NRC notice to Ex-Minister

Pratidin Bureau

Three time Assam Minister Gautam Roy and his 6 year old grandsonwas slapped notices as suspected foreign national as complaints were madeagainst  him in the NRC's objectionprocess as he had rushed from New Delhi to attend the hearings.

Roy, his father Santosh Kumar Roy and son Rahul Roy were allmembers of the Assam Assembly for various period since 1972.

However Mr. Roy was little lucky as he would face a  serious complainant in Johirul Ali Chaudhuryof Hailkandi during the hearing.  But inthe cases of 2.4 lakh objections filed all over Assam, there were hardly anycomplainant who had gone during the hearing forcing NRC authorities to issue aninstruction of ordering ex-parte order and not rescheduling the hearing of anycomplainant fail to arrive.

Meanwhile a renown social activist  Hareshwar Goswami addressed a news conferenceyesterday ,flanked by senior journalist and intellectuals of Assam on eitherside, alleging that AASU leaders had filed these  bogus complaints. In fact such a complainantwas filed against Hareshwar Goswami.

The AASU is in back foot as serious  allegations were leveled against them formaking mockery of the complaint process. The AASU however sought to wriggle outof the issue saying that they alone should not be blamed.
