While Assam publishes historic draft National Register of Citizens, Mamata makes inflammatory statements

At 00.02 AM on 1st January 2018, a much waited and historic event happened in Assam. This means that these 1.90 crore people are confirmed to be citizens of India residing in Assam as per the provisions of Citizenship Act, and Assam Accord 1985, pending any appeal and complaint. Speaking at a public rally, she claimed that names of 1.30 crore people in Assam has been deliberately excluded from NRC draft, and 70 percent of such excluded people are Bengalis. If Mamata Banerjee is truly worried about the people who have migrated to Assam from WB, she should arranged quicker verification of the submitted documents, instead of making baseless comments. Prominent Bengali people from Assam have also criticised Mamata Banerjee for her comments, saying people from outside Assam need not get involved in this and they are capable of protecting their rights on their own.
