More deaths in India clashes raise toll to 23, police say, as protests widen over controversial citizenship law
Demonstrators attend a protest against a new citizenship law, outside the Jamia Millia Islamia University in New Delhi, India, December 21, 2019.
The "majority of the dead are young people," Singh said. "Some of them died of bullet injuries, but these injuries are not because of police fire. The police have used only tear gas to scare away the agitating mob." Muzaffarnagar, Sambal and Kanpur right now are the hotbeds of anti Muslim violence. Cops barging into homes, destroying property, beating children, detaining youth,vandalising. Calls not getting through. Many are calling in from landlines.Critics say the law discriminates against Muslims and is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu-nationalist agenda, a claim his political party has denied.
Protests were held on Saturday in numerous states, including in the cities of Chennai, Gurgaon, and Guwahati.
