Mamata Banerjee reacts, 'Will oppose CAA if...' after Citizenship Amendment Act implemented

West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee on Monday said she would oppose the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) if it discriminates against groups of people. Her statement comes moments after the Home Ministry notified the Act. 

The CM asserted the CAA and the NRC are sensitive to West Bengal and the Northeast,



adding she does not want unrest before the Lok Sabha elections.

"Let me be very clear that we will oppose anything that discriminates people. Let them bring out the rules, then we will speak on the issue after going through the rules," she said while addressing a hurriedly called press conference at the state secretariat in Kolkata.
