‘Poor cannot undergo hardships again’
A farm labourers’ union in Assam has called for a State-wide demonstration on Friday against the bid to reverify the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Villagers and daily wagers underwent financial and psychological strain to participate in the NRC exercise that led to the exclusion of 19.06 lakh of the 3.3 crore people in Assam when the draft list of citizens was published in August 2019, the Sadou Asom Grameen Sramik Sanstha said.More Related News
