NEW DELHI: BJP president and home minister Amit Shah on Monday said the party's outreach on the Citizenship Amendment Act received a huge response with the 'missed call' campaign registering around 53 lakh verified calls barely in three days since its launch.

"Over 52.72 lakh verified calls have been received so far in favour of CAA. The total calls are 68 lakh of which there are some repeats and some unverified," Shah told TOI while laying the foundation for a cycle walk project here.

To drum up support for the new citizenship law , Shah asked each person in the audience to dial 8866288662, the phone number for BJP's drive on CAA . "Those dialling the number would deliver their message of support directly to PM Narendra Modi ," he told the crowd. "Get your friends and family to dial this number and make a missed call in support of PM Modi. This missed call will open the eyes of those who do vote-bank politics, he said.
