"Complying with Supreme Court orders we brought NRC. The NRC is a way to evict illegal Bangladeshi immigrants from Assam. I would like to ask SP, BSP & Congress to clear their stand on whether they want illegal Bangladeshi immigrants to stay here or evict them," said Shah.

"The Shah of lies and the Shahenshah of Jumlas tried their best to stall NRC. I will tell you how they hatched a conspiracy to stop, delay and disrupt the NRC process," said Khera, reported news agency PTI.

Addressing a huge gathering on the occasion, Amit Shah asked the Congress to give an account of the work done by its leaders during their four generations of rule.

Commenting on the entire matter, Kolkata Police said, reported ANI, “Some unwarranted speculation in social media about denial of permission to a political party on 11 August has come to our notice. It is to clarify that on request, permission for the meeting has already been granted.”

BJP president Amit Shah was not allowed to speak over the issue in Rajya Sabha for the second consecutive day as Opposition MPs resorted to sloganeering as soon as he stood up present his views.

Amit Shah didn't make any statement on the issue of Ram Mandir as being claimed in certain sections of the media. No such matter was even on the agenda, the BJP said.

Only few selected top leaders from both parties were reportedly invited for the dinner where the two leaders are believed to have discussed the seat sharing formula for 2019 general elections.
