Iterating that she would never allow the implementation of NRC in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday said every person living in this state is a citizen of India.
Those who have turned 18 should immediately enrol themselves in voters' list, she asserted.
Speaking at a programme here in Mallaguri, Banerjee said, "There will be no NRC implementation in West Bengal. We will not allow any division among the people of the state. Do not be worried. Be rest assured we are your custodians."
The chief minister, who embarked on her north Bengal tour on Monday, her first visit to the region since Lok Sabha elections earlier this year, stated, "We vote because it's our democratic right. And I request all those who have attained the age of voting to get their names enrolled as voters."
