“Regarding the ‘like’ on the tweet of Jamia Milia students, it was by mistake. I was scrolling and accidentally it must have been pressed and when I realised I immediately unliked it as in no way do I support such acts” Kumar tweeted.

Anurag Kashyap  has been vocal in his support for the protestors."This has gone too far.. can’t stay silent any longer . This government is clearly fascist .. and it makes me angry to see voices that can actually make a difference stay quiet" he tweeted.

Since the ammended Citizenship bill was passed several Bollywood personalities have criticized the government's actions.

If this is what’s gonna happen everytime a citizen expresses their view, forget #CAB, we should pass a bill and not call our country a democracy anymore! Beating up innocent human beings for speaking their mind? BARBARIC.

What is happening is not okay. The way it’s happening is not okay. People have every right to peacefully voice their opinion. This violence and disruption is both saddening and concerning as a fellow citizen. In no circumstance, must our faith in democracy be shaken. 🇮🇳

It is being reported that around 100 students were injured by Delhi Police during the protests. The Indian government has claimed that the new bill would allow minorities across Muslim nations to escape persecution. However, the bill is being criticised for having a separate provision for Muslims for damaging the foundations of secular India.
