Kolkata: More than 8,000 people from the Christian community took to the streets in eastern India on Monday to protest against a citizenship law that critics say discriminates against Muslims.
One of the protest organisers, Herod Mullick from the Bangiya Christiya Pariseba, said the new legislation was "divisive”. "We want to express our solidarity with the people who are protesting against CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) and NRC (National Register of Citizens) in different parts of India.” (AFP)
