Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal Wednesday hit out at opponents of the NRC for “spreading negative propaganda” saying the people of the state have stood strongly behind the move to prepare an error-free list of Indian citizens.
Citing the peaceful celebration of Independence Day across Assam, which has often witnessed violence during celebrations of national events in the past, he said despite continuous “canards” and “attempts to instigate people” in the name of the draft NRC, the state remained peaceful since July 30.
