31 People Have Died Due To NRC Fear In West Bengal : Mamata Banerjee

Mumbai: Following the nation-wide protest over National Register of Citizens (NRC), West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said that around 31 people have died due to its fear in West Bengal.

Addressing a rally in Nadia, West Bengal, Mamta Banerjee said, “In Assam, the National Civil Register (NRC) has killed more than 100 people, while in West Bengal, 31 fearing NRC Or 32 people were killed. ”

Suspecting the National Population Register (NPR), the CM of West Bengal urged people not to give their documents to anyone, unless he directly asks them to give them.

Mamta Banerjee said, “If they ask you to present any Aadhar card or details about your family, do not show them any documents, do not give them till I tell you directly.” He said that NPR, NRC and CAA are like black magic.

Attacking the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over NRC, Banerjee said, “Will you (BJP) expel me from the country because I don’t have my mother’s birth certificate?”

His remarks come at a time when the Central Government has once again clarified that no decision has been taken to prepare a nationwide NRC.

In a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai said: “Till now, the government has not taken any decision to prepare the National Register of Indian Citizens at the national level.”
