Gurkhas not to be tagged as foreigners, orders Assam govt
The Hindu
This is in keeping with Aug. 4 Cabinet decision to exempt community from cases in Foreigners’ Tribunals
The Assam government’s Political Department on Tuesday issued a notification ordering the State police’s Border wing not to forward any case against Gurkhas to the Foreigners’ Tribunals under the Foreigners’ Act of 1946. The official notification follows the Himanta Biswa Sarma Cabinet’s decision on August 4 to exempt the community from being tagged as non-citizens and tried in the tribunals for ascertaining their citizenship or detaining and deporting them. The Border wing is tasked with identifying people of doubtful citizenship and serving them notices for a Foreigners’ Tribunal – a quasi-judicial establishment – to take over.
