Hundreds of people have been arrested in parts of India as authorities impose internet blackouts in an effort to end mass protests against a controversial citizenship law that has rocked the country for the past week

Airline IndiGO canceled 19 flights from Delhi as road traffic disruption in the capital affected crew availability, an airport official said.

Rights group Amnesty International has asked federal and state governments to stop the crackdown on peaceful protests against what it called a “discriminatory” citizenship law. Police said they had detained around 200 people in the city, where protest organizers said thousands attended four demonstrations on Thursday.

Train stations around Red Fort were shut to prevent protesters joining the rally, and authorities also ordered mobile carriers to suspend internet services in some parts of the capital.

Indian court refuses to stop implementation of citizenship lawIndia’s top court refuses to stall the implementation of a new law that lays out a path for non-Muslim minorities from some neighboring countries for Indian citizenship, despite violent protests across the country Shame on you for wrong reporting. Everyone one have to prove their citizenship. Those who can't have documents become illegal immigrant. But if you are Non-Muslim you will get citizenship through this law. And Muslims will detained in detention camps Protestors shouting slogans about elimination of Hindus. This false neutrality is a problem. The law offers a path for people with no documents proving that they, their parents and their grandparents were/are Indians IF they're non-Muslims. If they're Muslims with no documentation they get chucked into concen.. detention centers.

Some in other Indian states are protesting against refuge “not automatically granted” to Muslims from neighbouring countries.
