When Hajabba was asked about this issue, he said that the he does know what the event is all about. Social worker Ansar Ahmed has given a statement that Harekala Hajabba is indeed invited for the anti-CAA event.

Many people, cutting across party lines and religions, who hold Hajabba in high esteem, are of the opinion that this programme will tarnish the secular image that Hajabba carries with him. According to these people Hajabba is a role model who is not limited to any subject. So they say that Hajabba should not have been invited to such controversial event.
