The
progressive author and activist Arundhati Roy spoke out on the issue on
Wednesday, stating that the planned National Register of Citizens (NRC)
was targeted against Muslims of the country.
"Attacks
are taking place on Muslims in Uttar Pradesh. Police are going house to
house ransacking and looting." The government, faced with the protests,
would try to implement the bill through the back door. She called upon
the people to give false names and addresses.
The
CPI(Maoist), leading the people’s war in India, has issued it’s support
for the protests by putting up banners and posters. In a country like
India, that holds 1/7th of the world’s population, that is deeply
exploited and oppressed by the imperialists, mainly US imperialism, that
is currently being hit by a very serious economic crisis and the
country where the most advanced people’s war of the world is taking
place, such protests are of great historic importance.
