Fresh protests are expected across India over an ‘anti-Muslim’ citizenship law, after days of unrest in the country's northeast that have left six people dead

Thousands took to the streets in the country's northeast, while other protests against the"anti-Muslim" and"discriminatory" law were reported across India in Delhi, Aligarh, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Patna and Raipur.

Passenger buses go up in flames during a protest against Citizenship Amendment Act in New Delhi, India, on December 15, 2019. Fresh protests were expected across India on Monday over a new citizenship law seen as anti-Muslim, after clashes overnight in the capital and days of unrest in the northeast that left six people dead.

The bill fast-tracks citizenship for non-Muslim immigrants from three neighbouring countries, but critics allege it is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist agenda to marginalise India's 200 million Muslims – something he denies. On Sunday evening thousands took to the streets in the northeast, the scene of days of rioting and deadly running battles with police, while other protests were reported across India in Delhi, Aligarh, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Patna and Raipur.In the capital, officers fired tear gas and charged with batons as several thousand demonstrators marched, and rallied outside the Jamia Millia Islamia university and police headquarters.
