Death toll from violent protests in northeast India against controversial citizenship law rises to six
Indian students hold placards against the Citizenship Amendment Act as the ongoing curfew was partially lifted in Gauhati, India, Saturday, December 14, 2019.
Some 5,000 people took part in a fresh demonstration in Guwahati Sunday, with hundreds of police watching on as they sang, chanted and carried banners with the words "long live Assam". In Assam, four people died after being shot by police, while another was killed when a shop he was sleeping in was set on fire and a sixth after he was beaten up during a protest, officials said.
Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday called again for calm, saying local cultures in northeastern states were not under threat, amid fears the new law will grant citizenship to large numbers of immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh.
