(51 sec) Student protest over citizenship law turns violent in New Delhi

A student protest in New Delhi turned violent on Thursday after police baton-charged demonstrators who were trying to march towards the President's residence.

Police, some in riot gear, detained several students and activists who had gathered to protest an attack at a Jawahar Lal Nehru University residence hall on Sunday night.

Eyewitnesses claimed police had been beating protesters with batons, and accused them of breaking the mobile phones of people filming the violence.

The protests, and subsequent police actions, come after the government brought in a new citizenship law, resulting in demonstrations and violent clashes around the country.

The new Citizenship Amendment Act was approved by Parliament on 11 December 2019. The law allows HINDUS, CHRISTIANS, and other religious MINORITIES who are in India ILLEGALLY to become citizens if they can show they were PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGION IN MUSLIM -MAJORITY countries Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

The law does NOT APPLY TO MUSLIMS, prompting accusations of discrimination.

Protests against #CitizenshipAmendmentAct continue in India

In NewDelhi and other large Indian cities people are taking part in protests against the citizenship amendment act and the policy of Narendra Modi. The police is taking severe measures to disperse the protesters.

Protests over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act have overflown India during the last month.

The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 was passed by the Parliament of India on 11 December 2019. It amended the Citizenship Act of 1955 by *providing a path to Indian citizenship for Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian religious minorities that had fled persecution from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan* before December 2014. 
Muslims were not given such eligibility. The act was the first time religion had been overtly used as a criterion for citizenship under Indian law.

Those little sticks might sting pretty bad, but they don't seem too harsh.. Our police need to start doing that to violent BLM members, but with aluminum tee ball bats.. Light enough for comfort, hard enough to put a dent in their head... thumbs up
