Kolkata: The West Bengal Assembly Monday passed a resolution against CAA brought by the state government demanding that the contentious citizenship law be repealed forthwith and NPR and the proposed NRC be withdrawn.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 said the Citizenship (Amendment) Act is "against the Constitution". "It is not a small Hindu Muslim issue...the issue is of humanity...this law is a shame on humanity... We will not accept CAA, NPR and NRC," the Hindu quoted Banerjee as saying. "We want this law to be repealed immediately. We want NPR to be also repealed," she said.
