Bengal on the Boil: TMC Declares Alleged Suicide Victims 'CAA Martyrs'

This special report focuses on a fiery protest by the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal, led by Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee, against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

The party claims that this fear has led to several tragic suicides, and they have controversially labelled the deceased as 'martyrs of CAA'.
