Kolkata, Jan 27 (TIWN) The West Bengal Assembly on Monday passed a resolution demanding scrapping of contentious new citizenship law.

Speaking on the resolution, chief minister Mamata Banerjee said the Citizenship Amendment Act is "against the Constitution and humanity".
"We want this law to be repealed immediately. We want NPR to be also repealed," Banerjee said.
The resolution was supported by both the opposition parties Congress and the CPI(M) led Left Front.
The BJP legislature party opposed the resolution and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah for the CAA to help refugees get their citizenship of the country.
