"NCTC was done without consultation. My stand is that everybody wants to fight terrorism. There should not be any confusion, contradiction about it. But NCTC was notified without approval of Parliament", she told reporters on the sidelines of the chief ministers conference on NCTC.
Holding that the NCTC will destroy the federal structure as it is contradictory to the federal system, she said the "message should not go to the people that the Centre is trying to impose something which may not suit the federal structure".
"I urge the government to withdraw it (NCTC)...All big states have opposed it", she said.
However, at the same time she said the Prime Minister in his speech did not say that all options are closed. "I heard PM. He has never said options are closed. I can guess from his speech options are open".
Asked about her stand on fight against terror, she said the Centre and state must work together as law and order is a state subject. "Centre must take the states into confidence".
When her attention was drawn to the suggestion of a few chief ministers for a sub-committee to examine the proposed body, Banerjee said, such a question does not arise as they are against the establishment of NCTC in the first place.
"The suggestion of sub-committee by other chief ministers is their own view. I am for withdrawal of it (NCTC)", she said.
Banerjee also said the Centre instead should have come up with "big schemes" in border areas and isolated regions to properly man these places.
