Being a D-voter if I go for voting, then the officials may catch and harass me unnecessarily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q- Have you encountered any misbehaviour from the NRC officials?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0A- No, no one misbehaved with me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q- What is your total expense on NRC?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A- At least Rs. 1000-1500.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q- Which lawyer is helping you in your D-voter case?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A- Name of the lawyer is Mohibur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q- Have you paid money to the lawyer?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A- I have paid Rs. 3500.

He thought that from where I shall give the money as I had no earning source.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q- How your life changed from the time when you were not declared as D-voter, at that time you were able to work outside, you had a proper earning source to the present time after you are declared as a D-voter when you are not able to work outside and you don\u2019t have a proper earning source?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A- I can\u2019t sleep at night; I have no proper earning source. I think so much about how I run my family. Where will I get the required money? After roaming the whole day outside, I cry at night. No one can work outside for earning. I don\u2019t have a matured son who could have helped in earning money. One of my sons is 12 or 13 years old. I kept him in a clothes\u2019 shop, where he is paid Rs. 1000 per month. The shopkeeper is also not sending him back to home as he says what he will do if you die, he will learn business here which will be helpful for his future. I am surviving with whatever the government ration I get, sometimes people ask me to help in buying goat, where I get Rs. 200-300. Thus I am passing time with very difficulties.

Sometime continuously for 2-3 days we had to remain hungry. I couldn\u2019t buy the essential food items as I had no money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q- Are you vaccinated?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A- Yes, I am vaccinated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q- Were you charged money for vaccination?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A- No, it was free. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_wrapper td_block_separator td_block_wrap vc_separator tdi_17  td_separator_solid td_separator_center\"><span style=\"border-color:#EBEBEB;border-width:1px;width:100%;\"><\/span>\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.td_block_separator{\r\n                  width: 100%;\r\n                  align-items: center;\r\n                  margin-bottom: 38px;\r\n                  padding-bottom: 10px;\r\n                }.td_block_separator span{\r\n                  position: relative;\r\n                  display: block;\r\n                  margin: 0 auto;\r\n                  width: 100%;\r\n                  height: 1px;\r\n                  border-top: 1px solid #EBEBEB;\r\n                }.td_separator_align_left span{\r\n                  margin-left: 0;\r\n                }.td_separator_align_right span{\r\n                  margin-right: 0;\r\n                }.td_separator_dashed span{\r\n                  border-top-style: dashed;\r\n                }.td_separator_dotted span{\r\n                  border-top-style: dotted;\r\n                }.td_separator_double span{\r\n                  height: 3px;\r\n                  border-bottom: 1px solid #EBEBEB;\r\n                }.td_separator_shadow > span{\r\n                  position: relative;\r\n                  height: 20px;\r\n                  overflow: hidden;\r\n                  border: 0;\r\n                  color: #EBEBEB;\r\n                }.td_separator_shadow > span > span{\r\n                  position: absolute;\r\n                  top: -30px;\r\n                  left: 0;\r\n                  right: 0;\r\n                  margin: 0 auto;\r\n                  height: 13px;\r\n                  width: 98%;\r\n                  border-radius: 100%;\r\n                }html :where([style*='border-width']){\r\n                    border-style: none;\r\n                }\n<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-630","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.right2nationality.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.right2nationality.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.right2nationality.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.right2nationality.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.right2nationality.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.right2nationality.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/630\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":683,"href":"https:\/\/www.right2nationality.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/630\/revisions\/683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.right2nationality.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
