Ruling BJP and other outfits in Assam attacked West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for alleging the BJP-led Centre was "hatching a conspiracy" to drive out Bengalis from Assam by "excluding" their names from the first draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC). They asked her to refrain from indulging in "divisive communal politics". "Banerjee's accusation is highly condemnable. We warn her to refrain from making such divisive communal statements so that unrest is not created in Assam. People of all languages have been living in harmony in Assam for ages," Assam BJP president Ranjit Das told reporters.
