Booker Prize-winning author and activist Arundhati Roy has become one among many prominent figures to criticise the implementation of the amended Citizenship Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens. She joined the ongoing protests at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on 19 December, calling the two acts “discriminatory” in a statement given to The Wire. Roy had earlier issued a similar statement on the movement against the law and urged people to ‘stand up’ and raise their voice against the amended policy.
