Assam Cong rubbishes WikiLeaks cable claims on foreigners’ issue

Guwahati, Aug 4 (UNI) After a purported WikiLeaks cable quoted then-Congress national chief Sonia Gandhi of supporting illegal migrants in Assam, the party today rubbished the allegation as a tactic to take away credit from the Congress for its role in an updated National Register of Citizens for Assam, which is viewed as an important document to detect illegal foreigners.
“Now that the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has acknowledged on the floor of the Rajya Sabha that Late Rajiv Gandhi paved the way and Dr. Manmohan Singh did the bulk of the work for the NRC in Assam, the dirty tricks department of the BJP has crawled out of the woodwork,” Leader of Opposition in Assam Assembly Debabrata Saikia said in a statement here.
He alleged that in its desperate bid to put a question mark against the Congress’s positive role in smoothening the path for detection of illegal migrants in Assam, some specialist in misinformation has publicized this dubious WikiLeaks cable of 2006.
