KOLKATA: Demonstrators in eastern India set fire to more than a dozen buses and vandalised at least six railway stations on Saturday, as violent protests against a new citizenship law continued for a fourth straight day.
On Saturday, protesters torched at least 15 buses on an expressway in West Bengal state, some 20 km from state capital Kolkata, holding up traffic for several hours, two police officials said. “With the passing of this bill the Muslim community is scared and this bill, which is now a law, is discriminatory in nature,” said Sharjeel Usmani, an undergraduate student at AMU. “We will protest against it till it is taken back.”
