India launches cartoon in bid to bust citizenship law 'myths'

The short video clip shows two bearded men in traditional Muslim clothing discussing the legislation before concluding that the country can progress only if there is"peace and brotherhood". The advert also stated that there were no immediate plans to roll out a nationwide register of citizens, which has stoked fears of Muslims and others becoming stateless if they are unable to prove they are Indian.

Islamic groups, the opposition and others at home and abroad fear this forms part of Modi's aim to re-mould the country as a Hindu nation, something his government denies. In a speech on Sunday, Modi sought to reassure the Muslim community, saying they"don't need to worry at all" and laying emphasis on India's diversity.

Yeah. This will work. Definitely.
