At Delhi anti-CAA protest, Arundhati Roy asks people to oppose NPR by furnishing wrong names, addresses to officials

Author and activist Arundhati Roy on Wednesday said when officials come to collect details for the National Population Register (NPR), people should provide them false details about their name and address. Arundhati Roy said this while taking part in a protest in New Delhi against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the proposed all-India National Register of Citizens (NRC).

"When officials visit your home for NPR and ask you your name, give them names like Ranga-Billa, Kungfu-Katta," Arundhati Roy said during a protest organised at Delhi University.

She said people should cite 7 Race Course (the prime minister's residence) as their address and should agree on a mobile number that everyone will provide to the officials.Speaking at the protest, Arundhati Roy said the National Register of Citizens (NRC) was targeted against the Muslims of India.
