Kolkata/IBNS: West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief, Mamata Banerjee, held a mega rally as a protest against Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, and National Register of Citizens (NRC) here on Monday.

The rally began from Dr. BR Ambedkar's statue in Maidan area and ended near Jorashako.

Before the rally began, Mamata said, "There will be no CAB and NRC in the state."

Over the last few days, West Bengal has witnessed violent protests against the CAA, which was passed last week.

Mamata added, "CAB and NRC are the two sides of lollipop."

"As long as CAB is not withdrawn, we will continue to protest," the Chief Minister added.
