New Delhi : BJP leader Uma Bharti on Wednesday (December 25) slammed author and activist Arundhati Roy for urging Indians to give wrong names like Ranga-Billa or Kungfu-Kutta when the government officials ask for data for the National Population Register (NPR).
“I am ashamed to take the name of such a woman who idolises people like Ranga-Billa. Her views are not only anti-women, anti-humanity, but also shows a very disgusting mentality,” said Uma Bharti in her tweets.
Former Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan too lambasted Arundhati Roy and said, “If this is the kind of intellectuals we have in this country, then first we should get a register of these people… Arundhati Roy should be ashamed of herself. If such statements are not betraying the nation, what is?”
Roy, who was addressing a gathering of anti-CAA protesters at the Delhi University on Wednesday, had said, ”When the NPR authorities will come to your place for your details, fudge your name. We will decide on five names, such as Ranga Billa, Kung Fu kutta…give your address as 7, Race Course Road.”
Attacking the Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre, Roy said the National Population Register (NPR) will serve as a database for the NRC and asked people to oppose it by giving wrong names and addresses.
