NEW DELHI - Protests over a new Indian citizenship law based on religion spread to student campuses on Monday as critics said the Hindu nationalist government was pushing a partisan agenda in conflict with the country’s founding as a secular republic.
Anger with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government was fueled by allegations of police brutality at Jamia Millia Islamia university on Sunday, when officers entered the campus in the capital New Delhi and fired tear gas to break up a protest. At least 100 people were wounded. Critics say the law, which does not make the same provision for Muslims, weakens India’s secular foundations.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the New Delhi police headquarters to protest against alleged police brutality and the detention of students. Police said they acted with restraint. The most violent protests during the past few days took place in the northeastern state of Assam, where mobs torched buildings and train stations, angry the law would help thousands of immigrants from Bangladesh become lawful citizens. At least two people were killed.
where all the western media coverage on the suppression of Muslims, they showed so much interest in covering Muslim rehabilitation camps in China which only contain about 2.5% extremists or wannabe terrorists of the Chinese Muslim population. No propaganda my arse !
Looks like no one wants to live next to mooslims
Imagine the same scenario in the US or UK where radical muslims, pro terrorists, are protesting to stop accepting European migrants. US or UK will kick their ass out of country. Muslims in India must protect the interest of India, not interest of Pakistan, Myanmar or Middle East.

you mean they don't want to be overrun with muslims? Go figure
Read the bill in detail before defaming an elected government. There were full debates on both houses of parliament. .1% may be protesting this time but 99.9 % are peaceful and contributing to the nation.
Once again, I ask gatesfoundation how they justify giving an award to Modi. How?
Are you beginning to see purpose of Religion?
Good job police in keeping those hooligans within campus and not letting them come out to destruct public property !
Historically Muslims were moved to two areas of India (Bangladesh and Pakistan) due to conflicts between the Hindus and the Muslims.
Twisted fact. Citizenship law is not religion based. Get your shit together
Most of Illegal Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh captured India, so this law important
Shameful of you to spread lies..
sankalp_sp India's stability is not based on econony but religion. Once people are enlightened by modern knowledge, they will stand still no more and the old social system will collapse.
sankalp_sp But of course Europe and white people are the only ones who can be racist xD
sankalp_sp Report after getting correct facts stupid Reuter the idiotic foreign media. CAB has nothing to do with any religion. Take correct news. Don't spread rumours to incite violence.
sankalp_sp Muslim persecution is based on religious prejudices isn't it? Why shouldn't immigration policy differentiate those who perpetuate religious intolerance and those who are the victims of that religious bigotry? One can easily guess who is fomenting the protests in India. India
sankalp_sp Soon it will engulf whole India Hitler (Modi) playing with fire
