A section of East Bengal fans on Sunday used the occasion of the Kolkata I-League derby at the Salt Lake Stadium here to voice their protest against the Citizen Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens.
Some East Bengal fans displayed a giant tifo (a choreographed display to form a large image or sign) to protest against NRC and CAA. A massive turnout of 63,756 football fans watched the match on Sunday.
The innovative display read in Bengali: "Rakta Diye Kina Mati, Kagaz Diye Noy (A paper cannot replace a land acquired through blood)."
