Survey to begin on April 15, says Janagosthiya Samannay Parishad that represents three categories of indigenous Muslims.
Assamese Muslims have decided to prepare their own “mini NRC” in order to distinguish the indigenous followers of Islam from Bengal-origin migrant Muslims residing in Assam. This, the Janagosthiya Samannay Parishad (JSP) said, was necessary to “overcome an identity crisis” indigenous Assamese Muslims have been facing because of being bracketed with migrant Muslims. It has created a portal where Assamese Muslims must submit relevant documents for this purpose. The JSP represents three categories of indigenous Muslims — Goriya, Moriya and Deshi.More Related News
