Assam congress always knew that, and avoided NRC all together where as AIUDF always asked for NRC.
AGP conspired with BJP and presented a rosy picture to the Hinduthva that they could expel majority of muslim from voter role but the whole concept back fired and put BJP in a awkward situation when they found majority of the illegals are actually hindus.
Now as muslim became documented they no longer will care to identify them as Ahom speaking instead they will join the mainstream hindu bengalis and turn the entire state as Bengali majority. Even though I feel sorry for the Assamese but their ill intention did not make me happy either.
Since you are a knowledgeable guy and i think you have Assamese roots too, i will explain to you the position of the illegals in detail.
You know that Congress have ruled over Assam at a stretch for the first six decades after independence. At the beginning the process of detecting the aliens was according to the Foreigners Act 1946, same act that you follow in Bangladesh. But Congress decided to do away with the Act to bring a new law just for Assam, the IMDT Act. That law was skewed towards the illegal Bangladeshis and it was a nightmare to prosecute anyone even after conclusive evidence of being an illegal was found.
Then, they started distributing land pattas to them in places that were under exclusive state control. Congress also went the distance of trying to influence the Centre of including the voter list of late eighties and 90s for the criteria of identifying them instead of the pre '71 data. A systematic process was maintained to legitimise the presence of illegals.
It took our present CM of Assam Shri Sarbananda Sonowal to petition the Supreme Court to declare the misused IMDT Act null and void and bring back the Foreigners Act again in its place.
Now we understand that many illegals have gathered citizenship documents due to the efforts of Congress, and we are ok with it as they are mostly the poor and needy.
We just don't want the illegals to misuse laws anymore and to identify those that came here post '71. This is not an exercise against the miyas or the Bongals. Lots of Nepalis and north Indians like Biharis from your part also find their names excluded. Crux of the matter is simple, you prove your Indian roots and are welcome to live amongst us. This hype surrounding NRC is both unjustified and unnecessary.
Tell me where are the illegals that will remain to be deported?
41 lakhs Bangladeshis already, and from what i hear the number will increase. I think BJP will take care of the Hindus though.
Please stop bringing Ahoms to everything regarding Assam, we are only one of the indigenous groups in the state.
