The West Bengal Assembly on Tuesday passed a motion against the final draft of the national register of citizens (nrc), with the ruling Trinamool Congress, Congress and Left Front slamming the BJP-led NDA government for “snatching the rights of people in Assam”.
The all-party resolution to discuss this issue was accepted by the Speaker in Assembly. BJP MLAs, however, did not take part in the discussion. The motion was moved by state Education Minister Partha Chatterjee.
