Assam police register case against Mamata Banerjee over her NRC remarks
Guwahati, Aug 1 (IBNS): Assam police registered a case against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for making provocative remarks regarding the Assam NRC issue.
According to the reports, following a complaint filed by Sudipta Hazarika, General Secretary of Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Parishad (AJYP) at the North Lakhimpur Sadar police station, police registered a case (no – 832/2018) under sections 120B and 153A of IPC.
Sudipta Hazarika said that he lodged the complaint over Mamata's remarks on Tuesday that the NRC in Assam could lead to a ‘bloodbath and a civil war in the country’.
“While the NRC updation process is going on in Assam under monitoring of the Supreme Court, Mamata Banerjee is making all efforts to halt the NRC process by meeting with the Union Home Minister,” Sudipta said.
On Wednesday, Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP and said that, the saffron party is playing vote-bank politics in Assam and targeted Bengalis and Biharis living in Assam.
