The West Bengal chief minister had spoken about not implementing the National Register of Citizens last month as well, and had said the state government would provide separate cards to those whose Aadhaar card was deactivated.
West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said that her government will not allow the implementation of CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) or NRC (National Register of Citizens) in the state.
The chief minister also targeted the BJP-led central government over the violence in Manipur, saying the Centre sent over 400 teams to Bengal. "How many teams did you send to Manipur, where our sisters were burnt," she asked.
Ms Banerjee, while addressing the Trinamool Mahila Wing rally in Kolkata, said, "We will not allow CAA, nor NRC, nor the politics of dividing Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, nor the false politics of dividing the Matua community, nor the false politics of dividing Hindus and Muslims. We do not accept this."
