The
West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, has on Monday accused the BJP of
creating panic over Assam Citizens' List in the state. She also claimed. The
list has led to six deaths in the West Bengal.
While,
addressing a trade unions meet in Kolkata, Banerjee said that she would not
allow the NRC exercise in West Bengal.
She
added, “The NRC exercise will not be carried out in Bengal or other places
across the country. It was pursued in Assam due to the Assam Accord”.
As
per the Assam Accord, an agreement signed in 1985 between the then Rajiv Gandhi
government and the All Assam Students' Union, had ended a six-year mass
movement against immigrants alleged to have settled illegally from Bangladesh.
"Shame
on the BJP for creating panic over NRC in Bengal, it has led to six deaths.
Have faith in me, I will never allow the exercise in Bengal," Ms Banerjee
said, without elaborating further.
Banarjee
criticized the BJP for ‘ignoring the value of democracy’ in the country.
“Democracy exists in Bengal but it is under threat in several other parts of
the country”, the WB, Chief Minister added.
“The
saffron party is neither talking about economic slowdown nor is it
concentrating on job losses. All the party want is nothing but its vested
political interests”, Banarjee reiterated.
