KOLKATA: Urging a “concerted plan on protests and to save our democracy”, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has written to her counterparts in opposition-governed states that “today, more than ever, we need to rise against the draconian regime in a united manner.”

“Today, I write this letter to you with grave worries in my mind. The citizens of this country irrespective of caste and creed, particularly women and children, farmers, workers and members of scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, OBCs and minorities are in the grip of fear and panic for the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the proposed NRC . The situation is very serious,” she wrote.
