In 7th anti-CAA protest, Mamata Banerjee slams Karnataka CM for withholding compensation

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee hit the streets of Kolkata for the 5th consecutive time and 7th in 10 days against the newly passed Citizenship Amendment Act. The rally which turned into a public meeting at its end witnessed the Chief Minister reiterating her stand of no implementation of National Register of Citizens in West Bengal. The rally saw an array of the top brass of TMC, and it saw Mamata Banerjee asking the student community to unite and keep the movement going in a peaceful manner.

"Our movement is increasing day by day, it basically means people are supporting it. I have done protests since my college days. I will always support students movement. We express our solidarity with the students of Jamia Millia, IIT Kanpur and other universities who are protesting against the CAA and the NRC", said the West Bengal chief minister asking students to carry on with their protests. She also told them that she will always be by their side.
