Nearly 100 organisations from across the country have decided to fight the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, the National Population Register and the National Register of Citizens under one banner - We the People of India. “We are appealing to all the people protesting against the CAA, NPR and nationwide NRC to come under a single banner - We The People of India. The next set of demonstrations will be held on January 12, which is the national youth day and the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand. The ultimate objective of a CAA and NPR and NRC is to throw our Muslim brothers and sisters into a vortex of uncertainty for years and years. Noted human rights activist Teesta Setalvad said that the country had rejected the government’s plan to decide citizenship on the lines of religion.
