KOLKATA: Women members of the Trinamool Congress marched in a rally denouncing the CAA and the NRC in central Kolkata on the occasion of the International Women's Day on Sunday.
During the 2 kilometre-long march, women protesters also demanded food for every family in the country.
Many of the rallyists held empty pots on their heads with 'We don't NRC, we want rice' written on them. They also shouted slogans against the economic policies of the Centre, which they claimed triggered price spiral of essential commodities.
Senior party leaders such as Chandrima Bhattacharya and Dola Sen took part in the rally.
"Woman of every household in the country is facing distress due to demonetisation and other economic policies of the BJP-led government at the Centre," Bhattacharya alleged.
On this day, women should protest against the economic policies of the central government and its "attempts to create division in society," she said.
