The ruling BJP said they do not trust the updated National Register of Citizens (NRC), specifically prepared for Assam, and appealed to the central and the state governments to prepare a nationwide NRC.

Addressing a press conference, BJP Assam President Ranjeet Kumar Dass said the final NRC contains very small figure of exclusions compared to officially stated figures earlier. "We do not trust this NRC. We are very unhappy."

"AIUDF will be helpful by the NRC. We appeal to the central and the state governments to prepare a national level NRC," he added.
