(40.27) Assamese citizens list will deteriorate relations with Bangladesh: Mamata
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that draft Civil List of Assam (NRC) will create complexity with India with Bangladesh. Because Bangladeshis are being called as infiltrators. The Indian media told the Times of India news.
The grassroots leaders said that only one percent of the 4 million people who did not get place in the NRC could be intruders from across the border. These 40 million people have come here a few generations ago, for historians, people coming here can not be identified as infiltrators. It is humiliating towards Bangladesh and India. They are our neighbors. We have good ties with them. We speak the same language. We love them as neighbors. Bangladesh is not a terrorist state. I do not understand why the government (center) is doing it.
Mamata said, BJP should be the infiltrator. Because they are entering into the lives of citizens. They are saying what to eat, what to wear, what to do, and trying to control the media.
Mamata said that six members of the Trinamool Congress and a delegation of two leaders will visit Assam and prepare the report. They will remove the identity of the excluded. Showing a list of some of the excluded Hindu and Muslim faiths in Murshidabad, he said that 833 people in our state were imprisoned in Assam. They have 28 women and children. Where they go
The grassroots leaders alleged that the BJP was giving birth to the protest. By creating NRC, BJP is creating a situation like a civil war. We want peace and harmony.
Claiming that BJP is voting in politics through NRC, she said, "I met Rajnath Singh. The Home Minister says no harassment will happen. But the BJP says they should be killed, get them out. They are creating new dictionaries of hate.
Earlier on Tuesday, criticizing the Assamese citizen list, Mamata said that BJP is pushing India towards Civil War around Assam's citizenship. Christians, Muslims, Dalits are being separated? This behavior of the center is not justified. This will not be allowed in West Bengal. These are being done to win the vote. Those who voted for the ruling yesterday, are not citizens of the country! Opting out of names, titles are selected. If Assam will not let the Bengalis stay, if the South Indians do not let the Biharis stay!
Mamata filed an FIR against Nakarkotia Police Station in Dibrugarh in Assam on Tuesday evening. Three of the party workers filed FIRs or FIRs against Assam BJP youth wing 'Indian Youth Morcha'.
It is to be noted that on Monday, the Registrar General of India, from Guwahati, Assam's capital, opened the list of final national citizenship registration. Of the 31.2 million residents applying for registration, 2 crore 89 lakhs were included in the final list. The number of people living in the list is 40 lakh 7 thousand 707 people.
