Addressing a seminar in Kolkata Tuesday on the controversial NRC, which has hitherto been restricted to Assam, Shah said West Bengal’s ruling TMC was misleading people about the citizenship roll.”People of Bengal are being misled about the NRC… I assure all Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain refugees they won’t have to leave the country, they will get Indian citizenship and enjoy all the rights of an Indian national,” he said.The ,however, asserted that all infiltrators will be thrown out of the country. Amit Shah, also BJP president, hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for scrapping provisions of Article 370 that accorded special status to Jammu and Kashmir, saying it will facilitate complete integration of the state into India. Referring to Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee, the founder of Jana Sangh, the BJP’s precursor, Shah said it was due to the sacrifices of the leader that West Bengal was today part of the Indian republic. Amit Shah told the Kolkata rally that the 18 Lok Sabha seats won by the party in West Bengal were instrumental in increasing the margin and taking tally above 300-plus. He told the audience that the BJP will come to power in the next state elections to be held in 2021. “Will not let the sacrifice of BJP cadre go to waste,” Amit Shah said. Senior TMC MLA and former Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation Mayor Sabyasachi Dutta earlier joined BJP in the presence of BJP national President Amit Shah.
