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”.

‘Anti-NRC Anthem’

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.
