MUMBAI - Thousands of Indians have been protesting against a new citizenship law as well as possible plans for a National Register of Citizens , alleging the measures are an attack on a secular constitution and against minority Muslims.
The passing of the bill on Dec. 11 triggered widespread demonstrations in the eastern state of Assam, as protesters feared it would convert thousands of illegal migrants from neighboring Muslim-majority Bangladesh into legal residents. Critics say the law discriminates against Muslims and undermines India’s secular constitution. They question why the law does not include Muslims fleeing Sri Lanka and Myanmar, which are majority Buddhist.Authorities in the northeastern state of Assam began using the NRC to identify illegal immigrants in 2015, on the orders of the Supreme Court.
Most of India’s 1.3 billion people are Hindu, about 14% are Muslim and the rest are Christians, Buddhists and others.
