Bengaluru, Jan 12: Protesters plan to intensify their anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act movement from sit-down satyagrahas and rallies to street and door-to-door campaigns in different parts of the city.
The street campaigns began on January 1 with 20-30 volunteers of Hum Bharat Ke Log, reaching out to people in Koramangala and Whitefield and explaining the CAA, National Population Register (NPR), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and related issues. They have organised four campaigns.
According to Zia Nomani, member of Hum Bharat Ke Log, the campaign will intensify soon. “Over 200-400 volunteers will organise nukkad sabhas and other activities around JP Nagar and Banashankari,” Nomani said.
She added that though protests began as a medium for people to vent their concerns, more needs to be done.
“We have realised that many people have begun working on their personal documents and want to help them understand what CAA is all about,” Nomani said.
Volunteers will talk to people at street junctions, discuss issues and run signature campaigns. They say: “Our movement is focussed on reaching out to people. Pro-CAA workers too started a door-to-door campaign last week.”
Avani Chokshi, an advocate who participated in a campaign, said though people had a cursory idea about these issues, they didn’t know the details. “It through such campaigns that we can reach more people. It’s important to talk to people who haven’t made up their mind about the issues or are even pro-CAA,” said Avani, adding, “It hard to combat hatred in a short span of time. The movement needs to be sustained.”
Activist Geeta Menon, who has been at the forefront of the street campaign, says they were heckled at some places.

if he done good he will get heaven if he do idol worshipping then ( ) .....
Idol worshipping is the biggest sin ever done by mankind, you cant insult GOD by placing some stone, many hands and tunge out and animal figur.
GOD is beautiful, he is merciful he dont harm any mankind unless they cross the evilist boundry.
he had many sin in his hand, one of the member in demolishing the God worshipping place (baber masjid).
Na tasya pratima asti (Yajurveda 32.3). It means "of that Almighty God there is no pratima (image, painting,idol) "
Enlighting from the verses of the Quran :
Quran 29:57 - Every soul will taste death, then it is to Us that you will be returned.
Quran 3:26 - Say, "O Allah, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.
Quran 3:27 - You cause the night to enter the day, and You cause the day to enter the night; and You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give provision to whom You will without account."
Quran 3:30 - The Day every soul will find what it has done of good present [before it] and what it has done of evil, it will wish that between itself and that [evil] was a great distance. And Allah warns you of Himself, and Allah is Kind to [His] servants."
