Death toll climbs to 21 in India as protests widen over controversial citizenship law seen by critics as anti-Muslim

Protests were held on Saturday in numerous states, including in the cities of Chennai, Gurgaon, and Guwahati.

At an all-women protest in Assam state's Guwahati city in the northeast – where the wave of protests started amid fears the immigrants would dilute their local cultures – participants said it was time to speak up. BJP's general secretary Bhupender Yadav told reporters on Saturday the party would "launch an awareness campaign" and hold 1,000 rallies to dispel "lies" about the law.

The unrest had already seen one death in Uttar Pradesh, two in the southwestern state of Karnataka and six in Assam.On Saturday, police erected barricades along Delhi's Jantar Mantar, an avenue that in recent years has been a hotspot for protests.
