Government of India (GoI) clarified that there is no plans to extend Assam’s National Register of Citizens (NRC) to other parts of the country, reports Assam Tribune on January 3. Replying to a question in Rajya Sabha, Union Minister of State for Home Hansraj Ahir said that the NRC of 1951 in Assam is being updated under the provisions of the Citizenship Act, 1955, and the applications for preparation of the NRC in Assam were invited in May-August, 2015.Ahir said the complete draft NRC was published on July 30 last year after necessary scrutiny and verification. He said the claims and objections on the draft NRC were invited till December 31 and after the disposal of claims and objections, the NRC is to be finalised as per the timelines approved by the Supreme Court. Additionally, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh stated that Government will set up a high-level committee to look into the implementation of Clause 6 of the Assam Accord which “envisaged that appropriate constitutional, legislative and administrative safeguards shall be provided to protect, preserve and promote the cultural, social, linguistic identity and heritage of the Assamese people, reports Indian Express on January 3. The Minister also stated that it was very important from the perspective of Assam. The composition and terms of reference of the committee, which will also look at issues related to the Bodo community, will be announced later. Singh also added that the committee “will hold discussions with all stakeholders and assess the required quantum of reservation of seats in the Assam Assembly and local bodies for Assamese people”.

Paresh Baruah, the ‘commander in chief’ of United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) on April 27 stated that some members of the outfit were awarded capital punishment as they were found fleeing with weapons and acting as informers of the enemies, reports New Indian Express. His assertion comes in the wake of media reports that at least three rebels were awarded capital punishment by the outfit in its Myanmar camp. He stated that ‘They were punished as according to our ‘constitution’. It has prescribed death penalty for any of our members if found fleeing with weapons or sharing classified information of our organisation with the enemies’. He also added that ‘During trial in the ‘court’ of our organisation, they were found guilty on both counts and as a result, awarded capital punishment’. He further stated that ‘None among us is above our ‘constitution’. We hail those who die fighting for our cause as ‘martyrs’. However, we view those who are killed for fleeing with weapons or acting as informers of the enemies as criminals. We don’t remember them nor do we inform their families of their death’.

More than 500 United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland-Saraigowra (NDFB-S) militants in Myanmar are said to have been approaching the security forces in separate groups to surrender, reports Deccan Chronicle on May 3. Security sources stated that condition of a large number of ULFA-I and NDFB-S cadres are also stated to be very critical since Myanmar Army has launched operation and demolished Taga camp of the Indian insurgent groups in Myanmar. In March 2019, Myanmar Army had taken over the physical control of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) headquarters and started driving out Indian terrorists from Taga area of Myanmar. Pointing out that a large number of ULFA-I and NDFB cadres are roaming from village to village in Myanmar for shelter, security sources said that rainy season has made their life more difficult. Referring the intelligence inputs, security source said that these cadres who were driven out of Taga camp, don’t have money to survive in Myanmar so some of them were reported to have been doing “manual work” to earn money. Informing that because of heavy rain, they can’t cross over the hilly terrain to enter India, security sources said that some of them have also approached their respective family members in Assam. Admitting that ULFA-I‘chief’ Paresh Baruah, who has been shuttling between Myanmar and Ruili town in southern China’s Yunnan province, security sources said that Ulfa-I chief has been trying to dissuade his senior comrades not to surrender but many of them are reported to have defied him and left Myanmar against his wish.

Members of Bodoland Janajati Suraksha Mancha (BJSM), met the High Power committee for implementation of clause 6 of Assam accord under Chairmanship of Justice B.K.

BJSM delegation, led by its president Janaklal Basumatary, submitted, “First of all the Assam Accord itself is not constitutionally valid as it is not ratified by parliament. For detection of foreigners the NRC update from 1971 is also unconstitutional. By agreeing to the Accord no foreigner can be granted citizenship. NRC [National Register for Citizens] update from 1971 means the foreigners from 1951 to 1971 are granted citizenship by registration which was closed as soon as the constitution was adopted in 1950 under Art.5 of the Constitution. Therefore, the Citizenship Amendment Act., allowing the foreigners citizenship on the basis of Assam Accord is unconstitutional, because it allowed citizenship to foreigners by registration from 1951 to 1971 arising out of NRC update from 1971 instead of 1951”.

The move to exempt some areas is an attempt to divide the people of Northeast.” Bawang further said, “We are one region. Assam and AASU [All Assam Student’s Union] have sacrificed so much. The Government of India has created a situation where they are leaving one leg intact and injuring the other leg.” the president of the Naga Students Federation (NSF) Ninoto Awomi, said that the students body was happy that Nagaland has been exempted but will continue to abide by the stand of the NESO, the umbrella body of student groups in the region which has been opposed to the proposed legislation.

The Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD), a Sixth Schedule area exempted from the purview of CAA saw a massive protest against the law on December 26, reports The Telegraph. Over 10,000 people attended the protest. The rally is significant because thousands turned up in a CAA-exempted area, reflecting the people’s concern even in areas where outsiders are not allowed to buy land. A few anti-CAA protests have taken place in the BTAD but nothing of this scale so far. AASU General Secretary Lurinjyoyi Gogoi stated that “The rally received huge support as there is concern even in areas covered by the Sixth Schedule and inner-line permit. Garo hills (Sixth Schedule) in Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh (ILP) are hit by influx. Every year in Arunachal, there is drive to rid the state of ‘foreigners. It shows that no area is safe. We will never accept this unconstitutional Act which is detrimental to the indigenous people of Assam and will give constitutional safeguards to foreigners on religious lines.”
