Words fail me. This is beyond unbearable, monstrous, execrable, despicable. There’s nothing you can adequately say about people in the uniforms of power torturing defenceless children. They should be jailed as the criminals they are. — PolitiTweet.org

These are extremely important clarifications to understand the ongoing confusion about #NRC & #NPR. TheGovt’s intentions have not changed; it is seeking to mislead the public by revising its presentation tactics. States that don’t want #NRC should not cooperate w/ #NPR. #NPRisNRC — PolitiTweet.org

"Population census in India is under the Census Act of 1948 whereas NPR comes under the Citizenship Act 1955...though the census data will be available in the public domain, NPR will not, &will facilitate the pan-India NRC exercise, say Rules 2003": https://t.co/FxMFBM8YLt — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Badri Raina refutes the argument that the #CAA is ok, but the #NRC is not: the #CAA does something "much more heinous ... to the character of the state itself, in subverting the secular constitution within which existing citizenship finds validity". https://t.co/opySUuJg7F — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

I omitted a sixth ally -- the Lok Jan Shakti Party of RamVilas Paswan has also seen the light. The Akalis had already suggested that Muslims be added to the #CAA, though they did not support my amendment to that effect. The BJP is now essentially alone in its divisive bigotry. — PolitiTweet.org

Calm, well-reasoned explanation by @AshokaUniv student @fahadmh for why he is against the #CAA: https://t.co/xGp3su0dot — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

The government claims that the NPR, unlike the NRC, is based on self-declaration& no documentation needs to be provided. But in that case the information sought should not go beyond what the Census requires. In fact the NPR &census could be conducted together to save time& money. — PolitiTweet.org

Nachiketa Desaiji, grandson of noted freedom fighter Mahadev Desai who was also Gandhiji's personal secretary, was going to hold a fast at Sabarmati Ashram from tomorrow to protest the CAA Act. The trust has denied him permission. What a shame! https://t.co/F1UasdV0Vq — PolitiTweet.org

“Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world: a decent world that will give men a chance to work, give youth a future&old age security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will”- Charlie Chaplin — PolitiTweet.org

A disingenuous question. @amitshah can withdraw his statement that he intends to roll out #NRC throughout India. TheGovt can repeal the 2003 Citizenship Amendment that provides a legal basis for an NRC. Plus amend #CAA so as to remove religious criteria; omit NRC in writing rules — PolitiTweet.org

Five regional parties that voted w/BJP on the Citizenship Amendment Bill have made it clear they will not cooperate in any #NRC exercise: AGP, BJD, JDU, ShivSena & YSRC. Very clearly, in their communal zealotry, the Modi-Shah duo have gone farther than their own allies can accept — PolitiTweet.org
