West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee emphasized the public's right to protest peacefully but condemned the recent violent demonstrations against the Citizenship Amendment Act. She urged citizens not to take the law into their own hands and warned that vandalism of public and private property would be met with strict legal action. Banerjee accused the BJP of orchestrating the unrest by bringing in outsiders to incite violence. She reiterated that the amended Citizenship Act and the proposed nationwide NRC would not be implemented in the state. The Chief Minister's appeal for calm was met with criticism from opposition parties, who accused her government of failing to control the situation. (PC: India Today)
