On 2024-03-10 and 2024-03-11, in response to the Central Government's decision to notify the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) rules, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee firmly opposed the CAA and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), promising to prevent the implementation of NRC and the establishment of detention camps in Bengal. She expressed concerns about potential unrest in Bengal and the Northeast ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. JMM leader Supriyo Bhattacharya, Congress leaders, and others criticized the timing and intent behind the CAA rules notification, suggesting political motives. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey defended the CAA's importance, comparing it to the abrogation of Article 370, and emphasized its role in providing citizenship to those facing atrocities. North East DCP Joy Tirkey announced security arrangements in anticipation of the notification, recalling past unrest. Kashmir's Grand Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam also commented on the issue, planning a separate press conference.
