Mamata against NCTC,says it will upset federal structure

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee continues to oppose the proposed NCTC,which she says is not in sync with the federal structure of the country. West Bengal too is of the opinion that the proposed version of NCTC upsets the federal structure of the country, Mamata said in a statement read out by her finance minister Amit Mitra.

Mamata claimed the law and order situation in Bengal was under control but suggested sealing the states border to restrict movement of extremists. Bengal shares borders with Jharkhand,Orissa,Bihar and Assam,all of which have serious security issues. Left Wing Extremism is a major problem in three states and Assam is being drawn into this serious problem, she said.
