They made a bill at midnight. They formed a Government at midnight in Maharasthra, they passed this bill without any discussion", said the Trinamool Congress supremo. Raising questions on the reason behind the Prime Minister not taking part during the vote on the bill, the CM said that she wanted to know why PM didn't vote if the bill was so good. If the PM didn't vote on that day in Parliament, then it meant that he didn't support it, hence it should be scraped stated the Chief Minister.

Only to hide everything, you bring a bill. The ones who question and speak, they are antinational. We are citizens. After 70years, so many Govt's came and went. People voted, then Govt got formed and you say they are not citizens. All are intruders", said the CM. Mamata Banerjee hit out on the centre's policy of asking for documentation to establish one's citizenship. She said," You are asking for my mother's birth certificate, then you too need to give your mother's birth certificate as well. I cannot give my mother's birth certificate, death I can give. Can you give your mother's birth certificate?".

This won't happen" said Mamata Banerjee who stated that India's democracy is 'majhbhut' not 'majboor', and she will fight for a United India!
