Modi says citizenship law not anti-Muslim as protests continue across India

NEW DELHI - Following days of violent, sometimes deadly protests across India against a new citizenship law critics say discriminates against Muslims, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led a rally on Sunday for his Hindu nationalist party in the capital.

“The law does not impact 1.3 billions Indians, and I must assure Muslim citizens of India that this law will not change anything for them,” said Modi, adding that his government introduces reforms without any religious bias. Fresh demonstrations were planned for Sunday in New Delhi, and northern state of Uttar Pradesh, where the largest number of deaths have occurred.

Modi’s government says that the new law is required to help non-Muslim minorities from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who fled to India before 2015 by providing them with a pathway to Indian citizenship.

Illegals anywhere need to be deported, since it derails the very meaning of laws. A lot of illegals were refugees(obviously non muslims) facing religious persecution in these 3 islamic countries. Amnesty to these people seems the right thing to do. Which this bill does.

India citizenship law is a discriminative act. I remember George Orwell, animal farm, there was a slogan something like that: 'all the people are equal but nonmuslims are more equal'

it's only anti illegal muslim alien, and it's wise.

'Claims,' 'lies,' 'bullshits,' not 'says.' Don't just parrot, FFS!

Modi is liar. Police is killing innocent Muslim. He want India Hindu rashtra instead of secular India.

Liar

Modi put the house on fire, nobody trust what modi has to say, his actions speaks louder than words , first Kashmir, than babri masjid and now this Citizen Act , what a stupidity to derail the secular India

Comments by evil Pakistan caused this.
