Two-thirds of Bengalis excluded from NRC are Hindus: Mamata
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee claimed that around 66% of the Bengalis in Assam whose names do not figure in the final NRC draft are Hindus. She said, "Out of 4 million names deleted from the NRC, 3.8 million are those of Bengali-speaking people." Of these, 2.5 million are Bengali-speaking Hindus and 1.3 million are Bengali-speaking Muslims, she claimed.
