She accused the Centre of having unleashed "autocratic rule"in the country.

"They (Centre) have unleashed an autocratic rule in the country. No one can raise voice against them, else I-T, ED,CBIwill be unleashed," Banerjee alleged.

The Centre meanwhile told the Supreme Court Wednesday that it was ready to extend the deadline (to get an Aadhar card) to March 31, 2018.
