NEW DELHI — The Karnataka unit of the BJP on Saturday, during the Assembly Polls in Delhi, tweeted out a video clip of a long queue of Muslim women voters flashing their voter ID cards at a polling booth.
The Karnataka BJP captioned the video in tweet as “Kaghaz nahi dekhayenge Hum” targeting the Anti-CAA, NRC protests held by Muslim women at many places in Delhi and elsewhere in the country.
“Keep the documents safe, you will need to show them again during NPR [National Population Register] exercise,” reads the tweet.
“Kaagaz Nahi Dikayenge Hum” ! ! !

The “Kaagaz nahi dikhayenge (won’t show papers)” slogan has been a common at the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests across the country.
Critics believe that the Citizenship Amendment Act, when implemented in tandem with the National Register of Citizens, may put millions of genuine Muslim residents at risk of persecution.
The govt, however, said in Parliament recently that the central government has not taken any decision yet on the country-wide NRC.
Several states, including West Bengal, Punjab and Kerala, have already stalled the National Population Register process in their territories in protest against the new methodology adopted by the central government.
The NPR exercise will be carried out across the country along with the house listing phase of the Census 2021 from April 1 to September 30, 2020.
