I will be happy if one person gets the (citizenship) rights, but if anyone is deprived I will give him shelter - Mamata Banerjee, CM, West Bengal
Barasat (WB): Attacking the BJP-led government at the Centre over the implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday claimed the rules notified were "unconstitutional and discriminatory".
Addressing an official programme at Habra in North 24 Parganas district, Banerjee said she would not allow the implementation of the CAA in West Bengal and urged the people to think several times before applying for citizenship under the law. "I have doubts if the CAA rules notified yesterday have legal validity. There is no clarity on it," she said. "The CAA and the rules framed are unconstitutional, and discriminatory under Article 14 of Constitution, which is the fundamental right to equality," she said.
