Prashant Kishor denounces NRC implementation arguments, maintains stand on CAA

Political strategist, Prashant Kishor took to the microblogging website, Twitter and confronted the supporters of Citizenship (Amendment) Act by affirming that they cannot fight the protesters by stating that nationwide NRC has not yet been implemented in India. He shrugged off this point in the supporters' argument and added that this claim is "not convincing" as there is a difference between not yet "announced" and not having NRC at all. This comes amid the nationwide protests on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act are on a rise. Prashant Kishor also referred to NRC in the CAA debate as there have been claims stating that NRC + CAA would be undemocratic and can be used for ethnic cleansing in the country.
