West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee is batting for Bangladeshi immigrants over the National Citizen Registry (NRC) that leaves out about 40 lakh people living in Assam. But as a Opposition leader in 2005 she actually didn’t want illegal Bangladeshi immigrants.
Back then in 2005 she chucked a pile of papers in Lok Sabha at the Speaker when she wasn’t allowed to speak on the topic of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. She accused the CPI-M, which was in power in the state then, of benefitting from providing patronage to illegal Bangledeshi immigrants.
Over this week Mamata has warned of a “civil war and bloodbath” over the Assam citizen list that doesn’t include the names of about 40 lakh residents currently living in Assam.
