The National Conference working president was reacting to a report in an English daily which claimed that Kolkata Police has asked educational institutions to submit details of students from Jammu and Kashmir to it for onward transmission to Union Home Ministry.

Mamata Banerjee reassured him while taking a dig at the Central Government.
