New Delhi [India], Sept 18 (ANI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, while addressing the media after her courtesy call with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday said that the issue of National Register of Citizens of India (NRC) is not applicable to the entire country.
Banerjee specifically mentioned, "NRC comes only under Assam accord and it is not for all over the country."
"There were no discussions on NRC. How can all the issues be raised in one meeting?" she added.
