North Bengal should be ready to give befitting answer: Mamata Banerjee on NRC

" We don’t want to create a divide among people and communities using the Citizens Amendment Act," Banerjee stated.

" We want all to coexist in peace without any division and without any violence. There is nothing to worry, nothing to get frustrated over. There will be no NRC, " commented Ms Banerjee here.

She also said, “Bengal never says we will allow this festival and won’t allow that festival. Hindu-Muslim-Christian-Sikh-Parsi-Jain-Gorkha-Bengali-Rajbanshi – we all coexist here in peace and harmony. People of all faiths and backgrounds come together to celebrate festivals.”
Ms Banerjee, who is on a tour of North Bengal, returned from Kurseong to the plains on Thursday, where she inaugurated the Kali Puja organised by Biplab Smriti Athletic Club in Pradhan Nagar, Siliguri.

Earlier, the Chief Minister visited the Netaji Museum at Giddepahar on the fringes of Kurseong for the first time.

After garlanding the bust of Netaji, Banerjee said, “The condition of the building was very bad. In 2017 we had thoroughly renovated it keeping the heritage character of the house. The house has been declared a heritage too. I have come to see if the renovation work has been done properly.”
