Bengaluru, Feb 8: The BJP on Saturday drew flak on Twitter for taking a swipe at Muslim women who appear to be standing in a line to vote in Delhi's assembly polls. ""Kaagaz Nahi Dikayenge Hum" ! ! ! Keep the documents safe, you will need to show them again during NPR exercise (sic)," the party's Karnataka Twitter handle posted using the hashtag #DelhiPolls2020.
The video, which appears to have been taken from one of the polling booths in Delhi on Saturday, shows burqa-clad women flashing their voter ID cards. While the threatening tone of the tweet is unmissable, the tweet contradicts the government's statement that no person needs to submit any documents during the house-to-house survey for updating the National Population Register (NPR) and that information provided by individuals would be accepted and recorded.
The tweet has added to the prevailing confusion regarding the NPR exercise in the country.
The NPR is a list of "usual residents" of the country. In 2010, the data for NPR was collected along with the house-listing phase of the Census of India 2011. The data was updated in 2015 by conducting a door-to-door survey.
Currently, it has been decided to update the NPR along with the house-listing phase of Census 2021 during April to September 2020 in all the states/union territories except Assam.
Most of the opposition parties see NPR as a prelude to the contentious National Register of Citizens (NRC), which has been opposed by even NDA allies like the JD(U). The NPR questionnaire asked details like the birthplace of parents. In combination with the recently amended citizenship law, protesters fear that the registry might be eventually used for NRC.
As a result, people, predominantly Muslims, have hit the streets as India witnesses one of the most widespread civilian unrest of recent times.
The development comes following the allegations of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) violations.

Looking at the arguments by Naik supporters it is not difficult to understand why he has billion followers..This world has more FOOLS than the intellectuals. All the bad things attracts more people.. this is the general law. These are the same people dreaming of going to heaven to enjoy 72 virgins while creating hell in the real word. The whole world laughs at their logics...Hahaha.

I dont know how many of them are misguided by this cheddi reporter and make enemy the TRUTH.
I feel pity to cheddi member who doesnt use their intellect and watch the videos in full context so they could be spared from ignorantly harming others without knowledge which will be judged infront of the CREATOR who created U me and all the exists including the enemies of TRUTH.

If Dr. Zakir Naik is on right path, nothing will happen to him, his noble work and his organisation, in sha Allah. May Allah keep him on right path and teach good lesson to the enemies of right things.
