On December 19, when lakhs of people took to August Kranti Maidan to protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019, there were pro-CAA elements present among them, who were questioning and recording their "uninformed views" on the CAA and National Register of Citizens (NRC) on camera. These video clips were later shared on Twitter and Facebook, along with #ISupportCAA_NRC.

The group, Know The Nation, which claims to be a "one-stop platform where common people can voice their opinions," has uploaded a total of 13 such videos. In the videos, a female voice can be heard asking protesters, which includes teenagers, LGBTQ representatives and young girls, why they were present at the venue and what they were protesting about. These short interview-like video clips took a dig at the protesters, claiming that there had been "shocking levels of misinformation" at the August Kranti protest.
