It’s not just the Twitterati but also the opposition leaders like Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and CPI(M)’s Sitaram Yechury both termed the poem an ‘anthem’ against CAA and NRC.

Grover is a vocal critic of the ruling government and its policies.

When the CAB after having been passed by the Lok Sabha, and sent to Rajya Sabha, activist Harsh Mander had declared would officially register as Muslim and would not submit his documents as an act of civil disobedience.
