Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday asked people not to disclose their personal information to anyone who may come in disguise to collect details for Citizenship Amendment Act(CAA).
The Chief Minister told people at Bankura that “people unauthorized by Bengal Government are creeping around to collect your personal details for CAA and future reference for National Register for Citizens (NRC). Please don’t share your personal information with such people.”
She said that some ‘fake agencies’ as also postal and bank employees have been employed to collect details. But I warn you against sharing such details because if you do so you will be in problem.
“Even if such fictitious people tell you that they are coming from the State Government don’t believe them because the State Government is not initiating such process. Even the central agencies cannot carry on such exercises without the State Government. Any such work is illegal without the participation of the State.”
The Chief Minister who staged a rally at industrial town of Durgapur with thousands of people trailing her earlier had said that the BJP was trying to create communal disturbance in Bengal in order to reap political harvest.
She said after suffering massive defeats in the Hindi belt including the national Capital Delhi the saffron party is trying to win Bengal “but people of this State will spell BJP’s end. Money cannot save BJP,” she said, asking women to blow their conch-shell like bugles ahead of war.
“The ululation and the sound of the conch-shells of my mothers and sisters are more potent weapons than BJP’s money,” she said.
With the municipal elections scheduled to take place in a few months from now and with the State polls getting due next year the Trinamool Congress has once again started staging rallies in districts in an apparent bid to thwart the BJP’s advances in the State.
Apart from the Chief Minister who staged a long walk at Durgapur senior party leaders including Ministers Rajib Banerjee on Wednesday staged processions at Alipurduar in North Bengal.
The BJP staged similar processions called Abhinandan Yatra at neighbouring Jalpaiguri also in North Bengal. The TMC had in 2019 elections lost all the seven North Bengal seats to the BJP.
