Manipulation found in NRC: BJP

Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is not happy with the recently released National Register Citizen (NRC) list.

He said that they will continue to pursue the case before Supreme Court. "Number should have been a little more as we had evidence of Legacy Data manipulation. We thought re-verification will be ordered. But it didn't happen. I think the number is a bit conservative, it should have been mores," Himanta Biswa Sarma told.

The ratio has been gone down in comparison to earlier released draft list. He further added, "We'll continue to pursue our case before Supreme Court that in bordering districts, 20% re-verification should be ordered and in remaining district, 10% re-verification should be ordered because we have found manipulation of data, we have clear evidence with us."
