Political point scoring over NRC

The uproar in Parliament over the release of National Register of Citizens (NRC) draft dropping out 40 lakh people from it is deliberately created by the opposition and ruling parties for polarizing their respective voters. Parliament has almost come to a standstill for 3 days over NRC issue. All are unaware of the ground realities in Assam after the release of NRC but speaking over it full-throated in Parliament. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Bannerjee is raising the issue of discrepancy in NRC and the deliberate attempt to polarize Hindu voters by the BJP in its favour over the alleged dropping out 40 lakh people from it of a particular community. Mamta's TMC and Congress are opposing the way NRC Draft has been prepared. While the ruling BJP is making it an issue to fight elections in 2019. BJP claims to be the only saviour of the Hindu community. But it must be understood that the nation belongs to all and the government in power has to treat every citizen irrespective of their caste, creed, religion, community and belief equally. India is a sovereign secular democratic republic. There cannot be any discrimination against anyone on the basis of his/her caste, region, religion. But here in the country caste, creed and religion play a vital role in the victory and defeat of a political party. Even the political party whose base is secularism sometimes deviates from its ideological belief in the hope of garnering votes of a particular, caste and community. Though the govt. has assured the people whose names have not figured in NRC draft that they need not be panicky, there is recourse in place for correction in the NRC draft. They have been given time for removing the grievances about their names not figuring in it. Though NRC campaign is, especially, meant for Assam and it is going on the order of Supreme Court. It is monitored and supervised by the apex court. SC has also ordered not to resort to any coercive measure against all those who have not made to NRC draft. They are the citizens of India till the final verdict in this regard. So, they have nothing to fear. Undoubtedly, the campaign for NRC is massive and on the large scale in Assam. The discrepancy has been there in the NRC draft on the large scale. Otherwise, one family member has not made to the NRC while another of the same family has made to it. So, the debate and discussion in Parliament should be on how to set everything right in NRC. By not allowing the BJP president Amit Shah speak on the issue of NRC in Rajya Sabha, opposition members have shown disrespect to the House. Mr. Amit Shah is the President of the ruling BJP. He has every right as the member of the Upper House also to speak his party's views on the burning issue of NRC. Opposition blame against the ruling the BJP holds some water that NRC draft was deliberately released in view of the coming assembly elections in MP, Rajasthan and Chattishgarh by the end of the year. NRC draft has created human tragedy in Assam. So, the politicians and MPs belong to ruling as well as opposition party must not make it an issue of politics in view of the coming assembly elections.
