Pink Floyd's Roger Waters recites poem by activist Aamir Aziz, calls CAA 'fascist, racist'

"Everything will be remembered, Everything recorded", Pink Floyd co-founder and legendary musician Roger Waters said recently as he read out Delhi student Aamir Aziz's poem at a protest here and described the Citizenship (Amendment) Act as "fascist" and "racist".

The 76-year-old singer-lyricist was participating in a protest last week to demand the release of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who has been in jail in the UK since April 2019.

A video from the protest showing Waters reciting the English version of Aziz's popular poem "Sab Yaad Rakha Jayega" has been circulating widely on Twitter and other social media platforms.

"This is a young man none of us know, his name is Aamir Aziz. He is a young poet and activist in Delhi. He is involved in the fight against Modi and his fascist, racist citizenship law. I will read a little bit from one of his poems," the musician said, endorsing the anti-CAA protests and criticising the Indian prime minister.

"Kill us, we will become ghosts, And write of your killings, with all the evidence; You write jokes in court, We will write justice' on the walls; We will speak so loudly that even the deaf will hear, We will write so clearly that even the blind will read;
