Rapper Raftaar has always been vocal about social issues and has voiced their opinions on CAA recently. In a video that’s going viral on the internet, Raftaar can be seen strongly criticizing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizen (NRC) at his concert.
Rapper Raftaar is the recent one to join the protest and no he didn’t speak about it on Twitter! Raftaar took a stand at a contest before performing the act.
In a video that’s doing rounds on the internet, Raftaar can be seen introducing a guy named Arshad and saying, “Before starting I want to make something seriously clear, whether my career goes on tomorrow or it doesn’t, I am not bothered. I have earned enough so that I don’t die of hunger. This man’s name is Arshad, he takes care of me to the extent that nobody can even push me. If anyone talks about asking him to leave this country, I am ready to take a bullet for it…”
Raftaar further added, “Whether they are Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, or Muslims, they are all our brothers, I will not let anyone be taken out of the country. After this, I do not care what happens to my career.”

It takes guts to say what you have said @raftaarmusic, that too, in front of such a huge crowd with people of different ideologies. This is how stars can use their privilege, power and reach to stand for what’s right. Thank you.
