GUWAHATI: Assam's updated National Register of Citizens contains the names of almost 80 lakh foreigners, including arrested "

", the NGO

Works (APW) claimed on Tuesday after filing a fresh affidavit in the Supreme Court seeking "100% verification" of the final citizenship rolls.

"Azharuddin, Ranjit Ali, Luit Jamiul Jamal and Muqaddir Islam, all arrested jihadis, have been declared Indian citizens through the NRC. We have been repeatedly pointing out these wrongs and prodding the authorities to rectify them," APW chief

, whose organisation's 2009 petition was the genesis of the apex court's directive to update the

, said from Delhi.

The four persons named by Sharma were arrested by

on November 25 for allegedly planning an attack on the national capital and a blast at the Goalpara Raas Mahotsav.

In its new affidavit challenging the NRC published on August 31 last year, APW suggests that an "alternative mechanism" for the state's indigenous people to prove their land holdings would have made the exercise watertight.

The affidavit also requests the apex court to set up a judicial committee to probe the alleged anomalies and corruption that took place during the NRC exercise, including misappropriation of Rs 4.76 crore in the name of purchasing 3,700 generators that had been rented.

While making a case for a comprehensive NRC review, APW has suggested that the process be started only after the constitutional bench hearing two related cases — one on the cut-off date and another regarding Section 3 and 6 of the Citizenship Act, 1955 — gives its ruling.
