NEW DELHI - Protesters across India are planning to use the New Year's Eve holiday to throw street parties to continue their fight against the country's new religion-based citizenship law that they say is discriminatory.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government on Dec 11 pushed through the Citizenship Amendment Act which allows undocumented migrants of all faiths except Islam from neighbouring Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh to seek Indian citizenship. Protesters allege the new law will alter the country's secular ethos and violates the constitution which guarantees equal treatment to all religions.
On Tuesday, Twitter and Facebook posts appeared asking people to gather in several cities including New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai.
Mostly Islamic Jihadists rioting. It's not protests anymore. We fell for their crap earlier now realizing they are out their to show Islamic bigotry and disregard for other religions
