Guwahati : Two more FIRs have been registered in Assam against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and members of a TMC delegation, which went to Silchar, for allegedly creating disturbances on the basis of religion, a senior police official said on Saturday.
A total of five FIRs have been registered against Banerjee in Assam since the publication of the NRC final draft on July 30.
Two police complaints were also filed against Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal in West Bengal on Friday.
The two complaints against Sonowal were filed by TMC MLA Mohua Moitra and MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, both members of the TMC team, for alleged manhandling and illegal detention at the airport after their return from Silchar.
The TMC team, comprising six MPs, one MLA and a West Bengal minister was kept under preventive detention by the Assam Police at the Silchar airport after they reached there on August 2 to take stock of the situation following the publication of the NRC final draft and were sent back on August 3.
Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress on Saturday observed a ‘black day’ in various parts of West Bengal in protest against the alleged “detention and manhandling” of its leaders in Assam’s Silchar airport.
The protest will continue tomorrow too, party sources said.
