PRIME Minister Narendra Modi has assured the people of Assam that no Indian Citizen will be deported due to implementation of NRC and expressed confidence that The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 will be tabled in Parliament.”We will ensure that the bill is approved by Parliament. Addressing a rally in Bengali speaking people dominated Barak Valley’ Ramnagar,the Prime Minister launched his party’s campaign for the ensuing Lok Sabha election saying “The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) will submit its report on the Bill in Parliament on January 7.The Bill aimed at ensuring  safety and security to the displaced communities from Bangladesh ,the Bengali Hindus in particular, will soon be passed.”He added that no genuine Indian citizen will have to leave the country and India will always keep its doors open to welcome people willing to come to India being victims of displacement and due to deprivation of livelihood. While the much-debated Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, would be an answer to the misdeeds of the Congress government in the form of the divisions of the country, proper implementation of the NRC and Clause 6 of the Accord will end the unrest as sought by divisive forces, he said .No genuine Indian citizen will have to leave the country and India will always keep its doors open to welcome people willing to come here being victims of displacement.“The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill will end decades-old problem for the people of Assam and restore the pride of the people of Barak and Brahmaputra valleys,” he said.“The government has also decided to implement the Clause 6 of the Assam Accord, which had remained stuck from the past 30-35 years. Clause 6 assures protection to the identity and culture of Assamese people,” the Prime Minister said.“I am aware of the trouble and pain endured by the people in the NRC update process, but let me tell you that this is being for a greater cause. I thank Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and his government machinery for working tirelessly to accomplish the massive task.The Prime Minister slammed the Congress party for its attempts to disrupt the pace of progress and said that the BJP-led government will continue to work for the development of the country. “Our vision is Act East and Act Fast on East and we shall strive to live up to the tasks,” he maintained.PTI adds: “I am indebted to the people of Assam for voting the BJP in the recent Panchayat elections and I am committed to repay this debt by ensuring the development of the State,” he added .Recalling his inauguration of the country’s longest rail-cum-road bridge at Bogibeel in Upper Assam on December 25, PM Modi said, “I am fortunate to be with the people of Assam for the second time in 10 days.
