A string of Bollywood celebrities including Rajkummar Rao, Taapsee Pannu, Alankrita Shrivastava, Richa Chadha, Anubhav Sinha, Anurag Kashyap and Parineeti Chopra have posted opinions all through Monday on the amended Citizenship Act (CAA).

It has unleashed a countrywide tension which was triggered off after Sunday's protests at Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi.

However, Bollywood bigwigs like Amitabh Bachchan, SRK, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan have not taken a stand yet.

Days back, Akshay Kumar liked a tweet related to Jamia and then came out to say that he had done the same by mistake. Clearing the air, Akshay's later tweeted over the matter which eventually drew widespread flak on social media.

Abbas's tweet came in the wake of severe protests against CAA which is still continuing in different parts of the country including Delhi, Assam, Hyderabad, Aligarh and Kolkata.

The contentious Act, passed in the Parliament seeks to grant Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Parsi and Christian communities coming from neighbouring countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
