Comedian, poet and lyricist Varun Grover became the latest public figure to vent his dissent amid the countrywide protests against Citizenship Amendment Act and NRC, as he posted a video on Twitter on Saturday, 21 December, reciting a poem.
In the video, he asserts “Kaagaz Nahi Dikhayenge” (subtitled, “the NRC papers, we won’t show”).
In his tweet, he also credited eminent poet Rahat Indori and “Bangla slogans”.
Twitter users promptly warmed up to Grover’s poem with a number of them, including CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, terming it as an “anthem” against the proposed NRC.
