Decorated Indian army officer not in final NRC list

Mohammad Sanaullah, the retired Indian Army junior commissioned officer (JCO) who couldn’t make it to the final NRC list since his appeal against the Foreigners’ Tribunal’s (FT) order was pending in Gauhati High Court, says he will wait for the High Court to decide his appeal before considering his next move. He added that he had hoped for “some last minute change” making his inclusion in the NRC possible, but that didn’t happen.

Sanaullah, who had won a president’s medal, was declared a foreigner by the Foreigners Tribunal, Kamrup, following a case registered in 2008 after his name was listed as a “D” (doubtful) voter. A retired Subedar with the Indian Army, Sanaullah, 52, joined the force in 1987. His service discharge book notes two stints in Jammu & Kashmir and one in Manipur in the “war service showing the theatre of operation” column.

“I was called to the NRC sewa kendra in Chaygaon last week and asked to provide copies of the FT opinion, which declared me as foreigner, and my bail order from detention camp. Due to that I was hopeful that there might be some last minute change and my name would get included in the Final NRC.
