Amid the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests across India, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap tweeted, "Our Prime Minister...is deaf, he is dumb and beyond emotions." Anurag added, "He can just give speeches and nothing else. He cannot see and hear. He is busy learning new lies." On December 16, Anurag returned to Twitter after four months and called the government "fascist" over CAA.
