West Bengal is a part of the nation and Mamata Banerjee should read history and get some knowledge about the Indian Constitution. It is completely unconstitutional and impossible The state. Naqvi said that a law passed by Parliament is misleading people who do not want to keep peace and harmony in the country.

“No question on citizenship will be raised in any manner on any citizens of this country including Muslims. The citizenship act is only for those people who are religiously persecuted. India offers security, prosperity to all the Indian Muslims. People who are instigating the crowd are against the very foundation on which this nation is standing. Citizens should understand the real motives of such people,” he added.
