Comedian John Oliver was trending on Twitter in India on Monday after he criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and raised his concerns over the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens in the latest episode of his weekly satirical current affair show the 'Last Week Tonight' on HBO.

In the 18-minute-episode, Oliver explained the CAA and NRC that has triggered protests all over the country. Explaining the connection between the CAA and the NRC, he called it "anti-Muslim", and went on to say, "Modi and his party may be about to strip millions of Muslims of citizenship. And they did it in a diabolically clever two step way."
