“TMC should know only Centre could handle citizenship matter, none could intervene into it. This political party(TMC) unnecessary concocting the matter for its political interest which is completely unconstitutional. Miss Banerjee should know about the limitation of her state government,” he said. The West Bengal government yesterday tabled a resolution against the CAA in the Assembly.

The resolution appeals to the Union government to repeal the amended citizenship law and revoke plans to implement NRC and update NPR. State Parliamentary affairs minister Partha Chatterjee introduced the resolution in the House. Three states: Kerala, Rajasthan and Punjab, have already passed resolutions against the new citizenship law. The law has emerged as the latest flashpoint in the state, with the TMC opposing the contentious legislation tooth and nail, and the BJP pressing for its implementation.

Mr Roy also said that CAA did not hurt any religious sentiment and secularism neither it violated Article 14 (A) in the Constitution of India. “Nor a single word within CAA is used to hit country’s secularism. Miss Banerjee and other parties earlier opposed several judgements including Balakot air strike, abolition of Article 370 in J&K and outlaws of the practice of instant divorce through ‘triple talaq’.
