    Tamil actor says law is discriminatory

With the Modi-led Central government notifying the Citizenship Amendment Act on March 11, massive protests have begun across the country. 

Joining the protests is Tamil actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Thalapathy Vijay. The law, designed to expedite citizenship for undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan who arrived in India before December 31, 2014, has sparked widespread condemnation.

In a statement shared on the microblogging platform X, Vijay expressed strong opposition to the CAA, asserting that such legislation jeopardizes the social cohesion among all citizens of the nation. He called upon the Tamil Nadu government to take decisive steps to prevent the law’s enforcement within the state’s borders.

Vijay’s outspoken condemnation further fuels the ongoing debate surrounding the CAA, underscoring the escalating dissent against its implementation across diverse regions of India, including Tamil Nadu.
