Mohit Mishra and Sonam Pathak, who are getting hitched on 3 February, have put a Hindi line in bold letters on their wedding invite: "We support CAA and NRC."
Several protests had erupted across the nation after the implementation of CAA, which grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians facing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
