As the fourth Indian provice the West Bengal has passed a resolution against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) brought by the state government demanding that the contentious citizenship law be repealed forthwith and NPR and the proposed NRC be withdrawn.
Speaking on the resolution, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee yesterday said the CAA is "against the Constitution and humanity".
"We want this law to be repealed immediately. We want NPR to be also repealed," Banerjee said. The resolution was supported by both the opposition parties Congress and the CPI(M) led Left Front.
The BJP legislature party opposed the resolution and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for the CAA to help refugees get their citizenship of the country.
Kerala, Rajasthan and Punjab too have passed resolutions against the new citizenship law.
