The Citizenship Amendment Act which was passed by Parliament last week is arguably the most divisive and polarising legislation in the history of India. It has divided the country into two - those in support and those against.

And both sides have been trying their best to show that the majority of the country is with them. This is particularly true for the pro-CAA camp led by the BJP and the Narendra Modi government.

Despite the fact that even some of its NDA partners are opposed to the law and BJP-ruled state in the northeast were the first to protest against the contentious law the ruling party says 'all is well' and has been working overtime to show that the people of India support a law that was passed by Parliament.

Several pro-BJP handles on social media conducted online polls to gather support for CAA, but in most of the case the poll did not go as per their plan, and some of them ended up deleting their polls when they did not get the desired result.

But what exposed the BJP's desperation to show that the people support CAA was a Missed call campaign launched by the party, where people could give a missed call to 8866288662 show their support. But hours after the campaign was launched it was posted on social media pretending to be for dating, friendship, sex chat, free Netflix, leaked number of Sunny Leone/ Alia Bhatt and much more.

Despite this being called out, on Monday Home Minister Amit Shah said that the party received 52,72,000 missed calls in support of CAA.

Writing letters congratulating PM Modi

A private school in Gujarat has courted controversy after it allegedly made its students write letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, congratulating him on CAA and expressing their family's support to the law.

According to The Indian Express, the Little Star School, an all-girls school in Ahmedabad made its students write “Congratulations. I, citizen of India, congratulate honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act). I and my family support this act,” on postcards and submit it to the teachers. However, it did not go according to plan after some parents raised objection to it and the school was forced to apologize for and return the postcards.

Unending stories of intimidation

Over the past few weeks, there have been any number of incidents where those opposed to CAA have been called everything from Anti-India, traitors, Pro-Pakistan, puncturewalas and many more. Even a BJP MLA from Karnataka openly threatened those opposed to saying you have to listen to us if you have to live in 'our' country. On Wednesday the Jyoti Nivas College in Koramangala, Bengaluru witnessed another showdown after students were 'forced to sign' a pro-CAA poster which was put up outside the college by some men. But when some students objected the men began threatening them.

Kiren Rijiju's Kerala adventure

Kerala has witnessed some of the biggest protests against the CAA. From civil society to political parties all are on the same page in the state when it comes to opposing CAA.

It is in this backdrop Union Minister Kiren Rijiju went to Kerala on Sunday to kick-start the BJP's door-to-door campaign to create awareness about CAA. The first house Rijiju went to in Thiruvananthapuram was of Malayalam writer George Onakkoor, who welcomed the minister.

But Rijiju was left red-faced after Onakkoor told the minister that he had some reservations about CAA as it excluded only Muslims and included people from six other religions, which he felt was not the right thing. Rijiju left the writer's home saying that it was a welcome suggestion.
