Assam issuing NRC notices to people in Bengal without jurisdiction: TMC

'THEY NOW WANT TO RENDER BENGALIS STATELESS'

- OUR CORRESPONDENT

KOLKATA: Calling it an act of "political terrorism", the Trinamool Congress on Saturday lashed out at the Assam government for issuing an NRC notice to yet another legitimate citizen from Mathabhanga.

The ruling party in Bengal alleged that such repeated targeting was not only unjustified but also a deliberate attempt to undermine the federal structure of the country.

"Nishikanta Das from Mathabhanga, a bonafide resident of Bengal, has been unjustly served an NRC notice by the Assam Government. This is an act of POLITICAL TERRORISM," Trinamool Congress wrote on X.

Taking to social media, Trinamool also made it clear that the Assam government has no jurisdiction in Bengal to serve an NRC notice to the legitimate citizens of Bengal.
