Prayagraj, January 24: The man from Prayagraj, who projected Rahul Gandhi as Lord Shiva once, has now made the strangest of appeals to the dead. Protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), Congress leader Haseeb Ahmad went to a graveyard here and prayed to his ancestors buried there to provide proof of his citizenship.

"I have come to pray to my ancestors, along with other youths from my community, that my ancestors should testify that I am a citizen of this country. Maharashtra Bandh: Security Tightened in Mumbai In Light of Shutdown Called by Prakash Ambedkar's VBA Against CAA, NRC and Economic Crisis Today.

"If they cannot do so, then I pray to the concerned authorities that the graves of my ancestors should also be put in detention camps along with my family because I do not have any documents to prove that I belong to this country," he said. The entire incident has been video-recorded and is going viral on the social media. Prakash Ambedkar Calls Statewide Shutdown Against CAA, NRC and Economic Crisis.
