Archis Mohan New Delhi,
The West Bengal Assembly on Monday became the fourth state to pass a resolution against the amended Citizenship Act. Legislative Assemblies of the Left Democratic Front-ruled Kerala, and Congress-ruled Punjab and Rajasthan have already passed similar resolutions this month.
 
The resolution in the Bengal Assembly, brought by Trinmaool Congress-led state government, demanded the contentious citizenship law be repealed and the National Population Register (NPR) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) withdrawn.
 
Speaking on the resolution in the Assembly, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, “We want this law to be repealed immediately. We want NPR to be also repealed.”
