Mamata slams Assam govt as gram pradhan gets NRC notice
1 2 Ghatal/Kolkata: CM Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday questioned how the Assam govt was issuing NRC notices to Bengal residents, her statement coinciding with yet another Cooch Behar resident receiving the same during the day. This time, the recipient is an elected gram pradhan of Mathabhanga. "How is the Assam govt issuing such notices? NRC notices are being sent to Rajbanshis, Seal families, Matuas — they are being harassed. Bengali workers are being killed in Maharashtra. They are being tortured in states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha. Many are still jailed in Gurgaon," she said. "How dare they say there is no language called Bengali? I have no problem with speaking other languages — I respect them all. But it is unacceptable if someone is not allowed to speak in his mother tongue or if someone speaking in Bengali is called Bangladeshi or if someone with valid documents is pushed back to Bangladesh," she said.

TMC posted the notice on its social media handles, and in Bengali. "Another NRC notice! This time targeting Cooch Behar! The Foreigners Tribunal in Nalbari, Assam, has summoned the elected head of Hazrahat-II panchayat. They have been asked to appear on Aug 27 to prove their 'citizenship'. Is Bengal under Assam's jurisdiction?" it said. The CM said in the name of SIR, there was a veiled attempt to implement NRC. "No one should be left out of the voters' list. Everyone should get themselves enlisted. We will not tolerate the removal of genuine citizens from voter rolls and labelling them as Bangladeshis. Their EPICs were issued by ECI. It was the govt of India which issued Aadhaar cards," she added. "Someone's parents passed away long ago and now they are demanding their birth certificate. This is a conspiracy by the double-engine govt — the govt of India along with the Election Commission of India. The names of as many as 7 lakh Hindus were removed in Assam," warned CM Banerjee. Didi assures migrants of help CM Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday urged migrant workers to return to Bengal, promising that once they registered on notified portal and declared their wish to return, the state would ensure that they receive all help. "Just say that you require help and we will ensure that we bring you under social welfare schemes. We will also try to help you through direct transfers," she said in Keshpur after taking stock of flood situation.

Amid preparations for the 2026 assembly elections, Banerjee underscored the need for discipline and accountability within the party. He warned against infighting and favouritism within party ranks, saying, "Everyone is a soldier of Mamata Banerjee ." He instructed booth-level party workers to conduct voter list verifications and report irregularities by Aug 31. "If BJP tries to drop even one name, they will not be allowed to step in Bengal," he warned. He also instructed party functionaries to say "Jai Bangla" when they see BJP netas.

He urged party workers to hold 80,000 meetings across the state to reach out to the people. He said functionaries in booths or blocks where the party lost by more than 100 votes must be replaced.

Referring to a recent Delhi Police letter that allegedly labelled Bengali as "Bangladeshi language", Banerjee accused BJP of repeatedly insulting Bengal and its culture. "This is why we call them 'Bangla birodhi' and 'zamindars'. How dare they call Bangla bhasha as Bangladeshi?" he asked. He questioned why no BJP MLA spoke out against the "insult" meted out by BJP IT cell head, Amit Malviya towards Bengalis. The TMC MP also raised concerns over issues like the NRC in Assam, the SIR, and alleged cases of fake residential certificates in Bihar. He reiterated that the Centre owed Bengal over Rs 1.75 lakh crore in dues.

Govt evading questions on citizenship IDs: TMC MP
Kolkata: Trinamool MP Mala Roy on Tuesday accused Centre of hiding behind laws to avoid answering a specific question she had posed in Lok Sabha on identity proofs considered valid citizenship documents in India. To Roy's question on ID proofs, junior home minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar replied on Tuesday: "The Citizenship Act, 1955, as amended in 2004, provides central govt to compulsorily register every citizen of India and issue a national identity card to them. The procedure for the same has been laid down in the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Card) Rules, 2003." Roy said: "I am not at all satisfied with the response from the Union minister. It seems to me that the central govt tried to evade the question. This govt cannot provide a clear answer to any of our questions, and this instance was no exception." The South Kolkata MP added, "Providing a clear answer on citizenship in Parliament could create issues for the SIR. Therefore, the Modi govt still does not have a satisfactory answer regarding proof of citizenship.
