"Yes, I have written to the PM," Banerjee said. She said that the focus on the NCTC would be lost as ten items were listed on the agenda.
"NCTC is a very sensitive issue. It should be the only matter of discussion at the meeting so that all states can express their views properly and adequate interaction can take place. Other issues can be discussed subsequently," she said in her letter.

During an interaction with the mediapersons here on Thursday, she had warned the Centre not to interfere in matters which were the preserve of states.

"It is not good to impose or bulldoze in a federal structure," she had said.
