Assam: Three FIRs lodged against Mamata Banerjee for her controversial remarks on NRC
Guwahati, Jan 4 (IBNS): Amidst massive protest by BJP, Congress’s Assam unit, All Assam Students Union (AASU) and other regional parties, over the controversial statement made by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the ongoing National Register of Citizen (NRC) updating process in the state, at least three FIRs were lodged at two police stations in Guwahati against the West Bengal CM on Thursday.
According to the reports, Krishak Sramik Kalyan Parishad lodged an FIR against the West Bengal CM for her controversial remarks on the NRC at Dispur police station, while several lawyers of Guwahati and a social activist Kailash Sarma filed two FIRs at Latasil police station in the city.
Krishak Sramik Kalyan Parishad’s leader Pradip Kalita said that, while the NRC updating process is going on in Assam under the Supreme Court supervision, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has disrespected the apex court verdict.
The farmer’s organization leader also accused that, the West Bengal CM is trying to create untoward like situation in Assam and demanded arrest her immediately.
Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said at a public meeting held in Birbhum district that, NRC is a conspiracy to expel Bengalis from Assam.
“Bengalis who had been living in Assam for 30 years have now been conspired to be kicked out of the state. Their names are being struck off from the civil list,” Mamata said.
Meanwhile, AASU advisor Samujjal Bhattacharya said that, Mamata Banerjee don't know about Assam’s environment.
“The NRC updating process is going on in Assam to find out only those people who came to Assam after March 24, 1971. The NRC is not against the Bengalis, Muslims or other communities,” Bhattacharya said.
