Speaking to ETV Bharat, the Assam Congress MP Abdul Khaleque said that before reaching Delhi, Khaleque verified his mother's citizenship at Barpeta in Assam.

However, the objector did not turn up after which Khaleque submitted all the documents substantiating his 75-years-old mother's citizenship.

Abdul Khaleque said that it was harassment for them. Despite his mother's appearing in the 1951 NRC, 1971 electoral roll, her name did not appear in the NRC.

Officials engaged in the exercise to update the Supreme Court-monitored NRC are currently verifying claims and objections.

The final NRC is scheduled to be published on July 31.

Khaleque said that his main aim as an MP would be to preserve the Barpeta Satra as a heritage site.

The Barpeta Satra was established by Vaishnavite saint Madhabdev in 1583 AD.

He also added, "I will also work on the process to mitigate erosion problem in Barpeta."

Referring to the issue of D (Doubtful) voters, Khaleque said he would solve this problem and fight against it.

Khalaque is among the two other Congress MP who defeated their opponents amid the NaMo wave.

Intro:New Delhi: Mother of a newly elected Congress MP from Assam Abdul Khaleque has been served with an objection notice on suspicion of being an illegal migrant from Bangladesh.

Body:Before coming to Delhi to complete the necesaary formalities to be inducted as Lok Sabha member, Khaleqe took his mother to the National Register of Citizen (NRC) centre in lower Assam's Barpeta district to verify her citizenship. However, the objector did not turn up after which Khaleque submitted all documents substentiating his 75-years-old mother's citizenship.

"The objector did not turn up. There were 2.5 lakh objections in the NRC verifying process, but on many occasions the objector don't turn up," said Khalaque adding "this is a total harressment. My mother's name was there in 1951 NRC, her name was there in the 1971 electoral rolls...just to harress us some one made the objections against citizenship of my mother."

Officials engaged in the exercise to update the Supreme Court monitored NRC are currently verifying claims and objections.

Claims are by people included in the NRC for corrections as well as those excluded because of rejection of documents, while objections are filled by people against those they think do not deserve to be on the register of Citizen. The final NRC will be published on July 31.

Meanwhile, Khaleque said that his main aim as an MP would be to preserve Barpeta Satra as heritage site.

Barpeta Satra was established by vaishnavite saint Madhabdev in 1583 AD.

"I will also work on the process to mitigate erosion problem in Barpeta," said Khaleque. Annually thousands of acre get eroded by floods in Barpeta.

Conclusion:Khaleque said that he would also fight to remove D (doubtful) voters issue from Assam.

"In rest of the country we have citizen and foreigner issue, but in Assam we have D voters issue, I will fight afainstbit," said Khalaque.

Khalaque was amongst two others Congress MP who defeated their opponents amid NaMo wave.
