BENGALURU - A German exchange student said on Tuesday that Indian authorities had ordered him to leave the country after he took part in protests against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new citizenship law.

Lindenthal said he was summoned to a meeting with India's immigration authorities on Monday and told that he had violated the conditions of his student visa due to his"political activities outside the campus", and must therefore leave the country. India's Home Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment, while a spokesman for the foreign ministry declined to comment.
