Controversy Sparked By BJP Shantanu Thakur Over Citizenship
What actually led to this letter is a controversy sparked by Shantanu Thakur’s statement that no TMC worker will be given citizenship. In a clip circulated on social media, according to Times Now, Shantanu Thakur was quoted as saying, “Don’t listen to Trinamool… None of you will lose your job or property. But don’t take Trinamool people along with you. We will not grant citizenship to a single Trinamool Congress man. Let Mamata Banerjee save you.”
NRC Implementation In West Bengal
Some time ago, Mamata Banerjee made it clear that NRC will not be implemented in West Bengal. The West Bengal government will not implement the National Register of Citizens (NRC) initiative and will provide separate cards to those whose Aadhaar card is deactivated. CM Mamata Banerjee said, “Those who are playing with the Aadhaar cards and trying to deprive people of their rights, people will throw them out of power. We will issue a separate card that will help to protect the citizen’s rights. We have prepared a portal named ‘Aadhaar Grievance Portal of West Bengal Government’. Those whose Aadhaar card has been deactivated should inform us as soon as possible so that they continue to enjoy their democratic, social and economic rights.”
