Who is an Indian? The Citizenship Crisis: Assam, India

A Solidarity Meeting of Human Rights Organisations & Other Citizens Groups

Now that the final National Register of Citizens (NRC) has been published (August 31, 2019) and over 19 lakh people have been left out of it, different human rights organisations, civil society members and concerned citizens are coming together to offer support to those excluded from the list.

Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) and People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) among several other organisations have organised a meeting to discuss the citizenship issue and a way forward. CJP has been working on the ground in Assam since 2017, over two years now.

We request you to please attend the meeting or depute a reporter to cover the meeting.
