Due to this, recently TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee said that CAB and National Citizenship Registration (NRC) are two sides of the same coin. This bill is against the basic principles of the Constitution. She said, "I will oppose it till my last breath." Fearing NRC, at least 30 people have committed suicide in the state. On the other hand, TMC leader Derek O'Brien has said that the party has issued a whip to all its MPs to be present in the house for 4 days from Monday, considering the possibility of CAB being introduced.
