Bhubaneswar: Bharat Raksha Manch on Monday held a protest in the state capital with the demand for extending the exercise of holding the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Odisha.
The first part of the draft of the NRC for Assam was published on the January 1.
Speaking on the occasion, convenor of the Manch, Murali Manohar Sharma said Odisha is one of the most vulnerable states in the matter of illegal Bangladeshi immigration. The rising presence of Bangladeshis in different cities of the state has been brought to the notice of the state government many times.
Stating that the rising crime rate in the state is largely due to this illegal population, National Secretary of the Manch Anil Dhir said the state government should undertake a major exercise to detect and deport the Bangladeshi nationals.
He also said in spite of the directive by the Centre in the matter of Rohingyas, the state government has not taken any action in this regard as mushrooming of Madrasas in the state is an indicator of the increase in radicalization.
A delegation of the Manch will submit a memorandum to the Odisha Governor in this regard.
NRC is an exercise that is supposed to help identify and segregate names of illegal Bangladeshi migrants.
