She also called out Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Congress party of playing dirty politics in West Bengal and added that she will fight against NRC-CAA.

Opposition meeting on CAA

Congress party which has called Opposition meeting in Parliament at 2 PM on Monday, held new year's first Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting to discuss Opposition meet on CAA on Saturday.  Opposition meeting has been called to give shape to Opposition's strategy in wake of widespread student protests against Citizenship (Amendment) Act, National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR), which several parties have vocally opposed and supported student protests against it. Samajwadi Party, Shiv Sena, Left-wing parties, NCP, DMK and RJD are likely to attend meeting.
