Banerjee said that Home Minister Amit Shah had said in Darling’s Lebong that there would be no NRC. However, he said 1.4 million people have been identified and sent to detention camps based on a process to find illegal migrants under the National Register of Citizens.

14 lakh people have been asked to go to the detention camps”, she pointed out.
