Modi will address Delhi rally as violent protests continue

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a rally for his Hindu nationalist party in the capital.

At least 21 people have died during clashes with police as thousands of people came out on the streets in towns and cities across the country to protest, marking the biggest challenge to Modi’s leadership since he first swept to power in 2014. More than 1,500 protesters have been arrested across India in the past 10 days, additionally, some 4,000 people have been detained and then released, the officials said.

But many Indians feel that the CAA discriminates against Muslims and violates the country’s secular constitution by making religion a test for citizenship. Earlier in the week, thousands of stone-pelting protesters battled police, who fired shots in the air and used tear gas, in north east Delhi.
