Chief minister Mamata Banerjee Monday penned a poem, titled “Identity”, slamming the BJP government over the NRC issue. She published the poem on social media in Bengali and later shared its translation in English.
Through her poem, Mamata also criticised several policies of the central government. In the poem, she wrote, “What’s your surname? Your father’s name? What language do you speak? What is your religion? What do you eat?…. What’s your identity? Where do you live? Tell us or else you’re a traitor.”
