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. Sarma (retd) and expressed their views that the clause 6 is not implementable, reports The Sentinel. 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”.
