“The Centre notified CAA rules yesterday (Monday). I have doubts if CAA is legal. There is no clarity on the rules. There is an attempt at falsification and a conspiracy to take away citizenship from people,” Banerjee warned people at the Habra rally in North 24 Parganas district.
“There is no transparency about CAA. Once people apply for it, despite being citizens, their citizenship will be taken away and they will become foreigners or illegal immigrants again. What will happen to your property, children studying in schools and jobs? It is a game plan to take away citizenship. It is connected with NRC. You will be taken to detention camps,” she warned.
“We will not accept CAA. We don’t accept NRC and divisiveness,” she asserted. “Think cautiously before applying for this. Otherwise, you will be taken to detention camps,” she warned people. “In the name of NRC in Assam, the names of 13 lakh Bengali Hindus were omitted.”
“The process of implementation is not clear. This CAA is a political game ahead of the Lok Sabha polls,” Banerjee said. “This is a jumla by the BJP. In my state, I will not allow anyone snatch the rights from the people. We will not allow NRC.” “I have taken legal advice. In the name of CAA, after application, valid citizens after declaration will become illegal immigrants. It is a conspiracy,” Banerjee said.
