Actor Farhan Akhtar on Thursday took part in a protest against the amended Citizenship Act in Mumbai and said that raising voice is an absolute democratic right of every citizen. "To raise your voice against something is an absolute democratic right. People are raising their voices and I am of the view that there seems to be a certain amount of discrimination in what is being planned and what is happening," said Akhtar.

He also said that it was imperative for him to raise voice at the moment. "As somebody who has been born and who has grown up with a certain idea of what India is all about, it is important for me to raise my voice," the actor added.
