Kolkata: West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar on Thursday told Mamata Banerjee to quit the agitational path over CAA protest as the apex court on Wednesday declined to stay the implementation of the Citizenship Law.
Taking to Twitter, Dhankar said, ” [email protected] Now that the Supreme Court is seized of challenge to validity of Citizenship (Amenendment) Act 2019 and has granted no stay, I appeal all to give up agitational path in the interest of peace so that normalcy returns and suffering of people is contained.”

In another tweet, he expressed his wish to visit violence-hit areas to bolster people’s confidence.
Earlier on Sunday, Dhankar had compelled Chief Minister to withdraw advertisements showing that the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) will not be implemented in the state.
