The VHP will launch an awareness programme in West Bengal from next week on the need for National Register of Citizens (NRC) to weed out Bangladeshi muslim infiltrators from the state and the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill to grant citizenship to refugees, its senior leader said. The VHP will hold its membership drive in the state between November 17 to December 1 and will speak of the two issues during their door to door campaign, VHP leader and spokesperson Sourish Mukherjee said on Friday. The VHP has set a target of increasing its number of members from 55,000 to two lakh. “We have been campaigning on NRC in Bengal for the past few months. But within the next few days we will launch it in a massive way. This time we will campaign for both NRC and CAB,” he said.
