Days after Indian government had let about two million people of Assam stranded over excluding their status of Indian citizens by citing them as the illegal immigrants who had poured in from Bangladesh ahead of 1971 war between the then East Pakistan and India, the chief of United Nations High commission for Refugees (UNHCR) Filippo Grandi had called on the Indian government to step its assurance that no one in the state of Assam left stateless after it had excluded about two million from its final citizenship list in the state of Assam.

While issuing his statement from Geneva on the developments of isolating two million Assamese, the high commissioner had said that any process that could leave large numbers of people with having no identity of nationality would be an enormous blow for the global efforts that have been initiated by the agency to stamp out statelessness.

He further urged Indian government to have its assurance that no one ended up being stateless and added to ensure adequate and potential access to information, legal aid to the people with the highest standards of due process.

The statement from one of the top United Nations commissioner had come after Indian government, through its National register of Citizens, had excluded about 2 million people in Assam from being Indian national after they had failed to furnish the possible documents to justify that they lived and raised in India before 1971 war. The reports stated that, of 33 million people who have registered, the government had included the names of nearly 31 million people by leaving behind the rest of two million, most of them are minorities.

The government, with the move to its determination, has said that it had drafted and listed out the list of original Indian citizens to identify and to deport the illegal and undocumented immigrants from Bangladesh and further clarified that those who have been left in the final list of citizenship won't be termed as foreign nationals and will be given 120 days of time space to prove their identify through the courts that they belong to India.

If the left out have been rejected by the court in confirming that they belong to India, the reports say that they could be sent to the detention centers to isolate them from the mainland and would possibly be deported to their native countries.
