DMK, allies to conduct massive signature campaign against CAA, NRC

Chennai: The DMK-led Opposition in Tamil Nadu on Friday resolved to conduct a 'massive' signature campaign against the Citizenship Amendment Act, National Register of Citizens, and the National Population Register.

DMK president MK Stalin said that the parties are demanding that the CAA should be withdrawn, no efforts should be taken to prepare the NRC while the NPR activities should not be allowed in Tamil Nadu. A resolution was adopted on this at a DMK-chaired meeting of allies including the Congress and MDMK.

"We have decided to conduct a massive signature campaign from 2 to 8 February," Stalin told reporters after the meeting. It has been decided to hand over the collected signatures to President Ram Nath Kovind later, he added.
