West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on March 13 asserted that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is linked with the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and that is the reason why she is opposing the new legislation. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo said she doesn't want detention camps in West Bengal, like those in Assam.
"CAA is related to NRC, that is why we are opposing it. We don't want detention camps like those in Assam," she said. Ms. Banerjee also claimed that the CAA is a "political gimmick" ahead of Lok Sabha polls.
