West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday said the state government has brought The West Bengal Bill, 2019, as the Centre did not introduce any law against it.

Lynching is a social evil and the Supreme Court has given direction to take action against lynching, she told the West Bengal Assembly.

“Lynching is a social evil and all of us have to come together to fight against it.“The central government should have brought a law against it. But they are yet to do so. So we are bringing this law in our state to fight against this social evil,” she said tabling the Bill in the House.
