Shivamogga: The Karnataka Dalit Sangharsha Samiti (Ambedkar) staged a protest against CAA, NRC and NPR near the DC’s office in Shivamogga on Friday, January 24. The organisation also submitted a memorandum to the President of India through DC, urging the government to repeal the unconstitutional laws.
“Apart from destroying democracy, the Citizenship Amendment Act is also against humanity and endangers the constitution. That is why humanitarians have come forward to oppose the act,” said the protesters.
Elaborating on why they do not want the three to be implemented, the protesters said “Our grandparents have been living in India for hundreds of years which is how we have obtained a passport, Aadhaar card, and other documents. This already shows that we are official citizens and there is no authority that can question our citizenship. All these documents will be collected and the NRC will be carried out in the area and the first NRC exercise will be announced. That is why the NRC and NPR have no link at all.”
