'A referendum on CAA' 

Banerjee, who is also the chief of Trinamool Congress has been vehemently against the Citizenship Amendment Act. The Governor's reaction comes after her statement at an anti-CAA rally on Thursday. On this occasion, she dared BJP to allow an “impartial organization” such as the UN to conduct a nationwide referendum on the Act. Moreover, she exuded confidence that people would give an appropriate response.

Mamata Banerjee remarked, “If BJP has guts, let an impartial organization like the United Nations or Human Rights Commission do a referendum on CAA and ask people if they accept it or not. No BJP, NO TMC involved. Let's see what people say.”
