A day after the Central government notified the rules for the implementation of the Citizenship Ammendment Act, the West Bengal Chief Minister said on Tuesday that it lacks clarity. She asked the people of the state not to apply for citizenship as they would be marked as refugees and infiltrators and they would also be deprived of government schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The West Bengal Chief Minister was addressing an administrative meeting at Habra in West Bengal\u2019s North 24 Parganas district. She added the CAA is linked to the National Register of Citizens and urged people not to fall for BJP\u2019s plan before the Lok Sabha elections. She warned the people from applying for citizenship and said that they will be marked as refugees despite being citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banerjee added there is no guarantee whether the applicants will get citizenship or not. She warned them that they will lose their property and they will also be deprived of government schemes. She said this is a plan of the BJP before the elections. Banerjee added all civil rights will be taken away if they apply for citizenship. She warned the people to think a thousand times before applying for citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banerjee said she would not allow CAA to be implemented in West Bengal. She said she will not let anyone snatch the basic rights of the people. The West Bengal chief minister said she is ready to sacrifice her life for the rights of the people. She said the Act has been formed for the harassment of the people. She pointed out that the United Nations has categorically stated that refugees should not be displaced and thrown out of a country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banerjee said this is basic humanity and has anyone seen that citizenship is being granted based on religion? She termed the CAA as dangerous and said this act has been passed to ensure 2 seats in elections for BJP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
