Protests are being held in various cities and towns of India ever since the Modi government passed the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019 in the Parliament on December 11. The bill passed by the Parliament became a law after the President put his seal on it the next day..

The newly passed act pledges to give citizenship to the persecuted minorities from the Hindu, Sikh, Bodh, Christian, Jain communities from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Those opposing the Act question the exclusion of Muslims and also differ with the government on religion as the criteria for citizenship.

They are also opposing the Act because it includes persecuted minorities from only three countries, while does not guarentee any such privilege to the minorities persecuted in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bhutan, China and other countries in the neighborhood of India.
