The entire state of Uttar Pradesh, with a population of 200-million, has been placed under a law banning gatherings of more than four people as has the tech hub of Bengaluru as well as parts of the capital New Delhi. Protests are expected to begin again on Thursday afternoon in 13 major cities around the country — the eighth day of unrest that’s posing the biggest challenge to Modi’s government since he was elected in 2014.
Demonstrations are taking place at Delhi’s Mughal-era Red Fort, from where Indian prime ministers address the nation every Independence Day, while another protest is expected to march towards the heavily guarded parliament. Protests are planned across a dozen Indian cities and towns against the Citizenship Amendment Act that bars undocumented Muslims from neighbouring Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan from seeking citizenship while allowing in migrants from other religions.
