Indian Muslims have been shedding tears of blood ever since a draconian citizenship law passed last week. The CAB (Citizenship Amendment Bill) does not only violate Indian Muslims’ rights as a minority, but also defies their human rights. Is this a new anti-Muslim policy adopted by the pathetic officials?
People have been expressing their fury on this act of fascism in all the possible ways they can. Apart from the protests that are being held all across India, social media forums have become another means of condemning the law.
Twitter, as alway,s has been the most active social media platform where people all over the globe are showing their support for the Muslims. They are raising their voices for this new act of terror by the Indian government and celebrities also joined the cause.
Hollywood actor John Cusack also expressed solidarity with the Muslims of India and posted a quote by Arundhati Roy (renowned Indian author).
