To whomsoever it may concern-

Please know that government or its head (the PM) is not at the negotiation table with you. He or they are not constrained do anything to make you show the document. They can coerce you. They are empowered to coerce you. One more thing- the celebs

running these nahi dikhayenege hashtags will stand in a line and show their document and if the govt asks them to carry a self-attested copy their only response will be - one copy or two? For all the twitter bahaduri and midnight hootanannies on Azad Maidan, did you notice how

not one celebrity faced police lathi or tear gas or even got arrested? They were complaining about @TajHotels not letting them use the washrooms while you were facing the police. You are the cannon fodder- the useful idiots who allow movie stars to promote their films,irrelevant

@TajHotels page 3 celebs to garner sm traction (some of them are even asking you to donate money to them personally to help them "fight") and bought and paid for journalists to make broad, sweeping claims that youth is against this govt.
Result- the law you were protesting got notified as

@TajHotels per plan, the NRC will happen when the govt wants it to, the celebs got their 15 minutes of fame and material for their next book or for their next panel discussion at the lit-fest. What did you get, my friend? You got reputation of standing with people asking for annihilation

@TajHotels of Hindus, of being apologist for Communist violence. You got the anti national label without the perks of tv panel discussions, book deals and conclave invites- you my friends, have been played this time.
Doesn't mean you have to be played again wn they need you next, does it?
