'I love my India' - Muslims defy citizenship law

Date:JANUARY 16, 2020 Muslims in India gathered in New Delhi on Thursday (January 16) painting Indian flags on their faces to prove their loyalty to the country, in defiance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new citizenship law. Men, women and children lined up to have the tricolour flag painted on their cheeks and across their eyes, saying that they belonged in India. The Indian government has faced weeks of acrimonious and, at times, violent protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which was passed by Modi's government in December. The new law eases the path for non-Muslim minorities from the neighbouring Muslim-majority nations of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan to gain Indian citizenship. Modi insists the new law is essential as it eases the path for minorities from neighbouring countries to gain Indian citizenship. But critics say it is biased as it excludes Muslim immigrants.

The Delhi Police personnel used teargas shells to disperse the protesters in East Delhi, particularly in Seelampur area. Ten people were arrested for indulging in arson during violent protests. "Ten people, some of them with criminal records, have been arrested for indulging in arson and setting vehicles on fire during protests," a police official said. "None of those arrested are university students." Police said they were carrying out raids to arrest other people involved in the violence. Business establishments and shops were shut down and Delhi Metro services closed at various places due to the ongoing violence. According to the TV reports, hundreds of enraged protesters resorted to stone-pelting on the police personnel who faced a tough time in controlling the mobs. Several vehicles, including buses, bikes, and others were damaged or set ablaze by the protesters. This was the second occasion when violence was reported against the CAA from Delhi alone. Two days ago, on Sunday several protesters and cops were injured in southeast Delhi, particularly near the Jamia Millia Islamia University, when thousands of protesters clashed with the policemen. The CAA was passed by the country's parliament last week, after which Indian President Ram Nath Kovind gave his assent to the new legislation. The new act aims at granting citizenship to illegal immigrants belonging to six communities -- Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, Parsi and Christianity -- from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, it has kept out Muslim immigrants from applying for citizenship. Opposition parties and civil society members in India criticized the act as contrary to secular principles enshrined in India's constitution as it excludes Muslims. With this new act, the centre government would grant Indian citizenship to those non-Muslim immigrants who had entered the country illegally until Dec. 31, 2014. People in various northeastern states fear granting of citizenship to immigrants would endanger their ethnic status. Massive protests have rocked three northeastern states, namely Assam, Tripura and Meghalaya over the controversial act, following which authorities imposed curfew and suspended mobile internet services.

Violence in New Delhi over citizenship law

Date:DECEMBER 17, 2019 Clashes erupted in New Delhi on Tuesday (December 17) between thousands of protesters and police, the latest violence in a week of opposition to a new law that makes it easier for non-Muslims from neighbouring countries to gain citizenship. Police fired tear gas in the New Seelampur part of the capital to push back protesters swarming to barricades and throwing stones. At least two police were injured, a Reuters witness said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government says the new law will save religious minorities such as Hindus and Christians from persecution in neighbouring Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan by offering them a path to Indian citizenship. But the law does not apply to Muslims, which critics say weakens India's secular foundations. Cars were damaged and roads strewn with rocks while small fires on the road sent smoke into the air. Small groups of youth, some with their faces covered, threw stones and bottles. There have been growing questions about the stance of the government, led by Modi's Hindu-nationalist party, towards India's 172 million Muslims, or 14 percent of the population. The citizenship law follows the revocation of the special status of the Muslim-majority Kashmir region, and a court ruling clearing the way for the construction of a Hindu temple on the site of a mosque razed by Hindu zealots.

Clashes erupt in Indian capital over citizenship law

Date:DECEMBER 17, 2019 Clashes erupted in New Delhi on Tuesday (December 17) between thousands of protesters and police, the latest violence in a week of opposition to a new law that blocks Muslims from neighboring countries gaining citizenship. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government says the new law will save religious minorities such as Hindus and Christians from persecution in neighboring Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan by offering them a path to Indian citizenship. But the law does not apply to Muslims, which critics say weakens India's secular foundations. Police fired tear gas in the New Seelampur part of the capital to push back protesters swarming to barricades and throwing stones.

The citizenship law follows the revocation of the special status of the Muslim-majority Kashmir region, and a court ruling clearing the way for the construction of a Hindu temple on the site of a mosque razed by Hindu zealots. Anger with the government was stoked this week by allegations of police brutality at Jamia Millia Islamia University on Sunday (December 15), when officers entered the campus and fired tear gas to break up a protest. At least 100 people were wounded. (Caption:2084SC-INDIA-CITIZENSHIP_PROTESTS)

Protesters set ablaze vehicles, clash with police in Indian capital against citizenship law

Protesters in Indian capital Sunday set ablaze several vehicles including three buses during their protest over new citizenship law in country, officials said.     Hundreds of people Sunday evening marched from Jamia Millia Islamia toward parliament street. However, policemen who had put barricades stopped them, triggering clashes near New Friends Colony.     The protesters fought pitched battle with police contingents by throwing brickbats toward them. The police responded by firing tear smoke shells and resorted to baton charging. Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) was passed by both houses of Indian parliament - Lok Sabha (lower house) and Rajya Sabha (upper house) this week. Indian President Ram Nath Kovind has given his assent to the new legislation.     The law aims at granting citizenship to illegal immigrants belonging to six religions - Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, Parsi and Christianity - from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, it has kept Muslim immigrants from applying for citizenship.     Opposition parties and civil society members in India criticize the bill as contrary to secular principles enshrined in India's constitution as it excludes Muslims.     With this new law, the government would grant Indian citizenship to those non-Muslim immigrants who had entered the country illegally until December 31, 2014. People in the northeastern states fear granting of citizenship to immigrants would endanger their status.     Massive protests rocked three northeastern states of India - Assam, Tripura and Meghalaya over the controversial CAB, following which authorities imposed curfew and suspended mobile internet services.     Meanwhile, the death toll in the Assam's Guwahati has risen to four as two more protesters succumbed Sunday. On Thursday, two people were killed and several others injured after police fired on protesters in Assam.     Protests over the new law have also rocked the eastern state of West Bengal.

People came out in numbers to protest the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2019 which allegedly singles out people from the Islamic faith, living in countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, and makes it difficult for them to obtain Indian citizenship. However, the same bill will enable people from the three aforementioned countries and six other communities- Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian- to seek citizenship in India. It has also proposed to relax provisions for "Citizenship by naturalisation" from the existing 11 years to just five years. Visuals also showed people drag effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, who is said to have spearheaded the bill, that was passed by the Lok Sabha or the lower house of the national Parliament on December 2.

At one point, they even broke down a barricade put up by law enforcement agencies to prevent the demonstrators from marching ahead.

Rappers, poets, actors band together to protest Indian citizenship law

Date:RECENT, FILE Rappers, poets, actors and musicians have banded together in their own creative ways to protest against a controversial Indian citizenship law that they say discriminates against the Muslims. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new law grants citizenship to followers of non-Muslim religions fleeing persecution from India's three Muslim-majority neighbours - Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan. But critics say the law is Islamophobic and a threat to India's secular constitution. The government says the law seeks to help persecuted minorities and it accuses the opponents of misconstruing it. The campaign has been championed by musicians and poets, both Hindu and Muslim, highlighting the stand much of India's liberal intelligentsia and artistic community has taken against the government. Rap and folk musicians have rallied for the anti-government cause. "I use this rap against NRC (National Register of Citizen) and CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) as a weapon in order to encourage people," said Shumais Nazar, a student at New Delhi's Jamia Millia University, who has written rap songs for the campaign and performed them at rallies. In New Delhi's Shaheen Bagh, which has recently become popular as protesters, mostly Muslims, have been camping in dissent, blocking the roads for nearly two months. Artists and students are using graffiti and plays as they believe art entwined with the idea of revolution is one of the best forms to express objection. The protests, spearheaded by students, represent the most concerted challenge to Modi and his Hindu-nationalist government since he was first elected in 2014. Nazar was at the university last month when police stormed in, firing tear gas shells as scores of students took shelter inside, in a night of violence that shocked many and galvanized the protests. The police said they were going after "miscreants" who threw stones at them from the campus. Muslim artists have also been vocal, with writer Hussain Haidry's poem "I am an Indian Muslim" resonating with Muslim demonstrators who have carried national flags and copies of the constitution, aiming to prevent Hindu nationalists from painting them as anti-India.

Fury grows after protest deaths in Indian Muslim neighbourhood

Date:DECEMBER 24, 2019, DECEMBER 27, 2019 EDITORS PLEASE NOTE: QUALITY AS INCOMING As unrest over a controversial citizenship law sweeps India, the killing of five Muslim men last week marked the most intense burst of violence seen since the law was adopted. All of the families of the five dead men say they were shot and killed by police as a protest flared against the new law. Reuters could not independently verify those accounts, and none of the more than 20 individuals Reuters interviewed saw police open fire. Police say they used baton charges and teargas, and opened fire to control the crowd but did not kill anyone. Police add that the men must have been killed by violent armed protesters whose shots went astray. An investigation into the violence is under way. The clashes on December 20 erupted around Lisari Gate after Friday afternoon's Muslim prayers. Relatives of the men who died that day said the men were either out for work or prayers, or had just returned home when they were hit by gunfire. Among them was Mohammed Mohsin whose family say he was buying fodder for cattle. Asif, a tyre mechanic, had stepped out to fix tyres at someone's home. Another man called Asif, a rickshaw-driver, was returning home after prayers. Aleem Ansari had gone to the restaurant where he worked making rotis, the Indian bread. Zaheer Ahmed had just returned home from work and stepped out for a smoke before lunch. Thousands of people have taken to streets demanding the government rescind the Citizenship Amendment Act enacted by parliament on December 11. It gives minorities who migrated from three neighbouring countries a path to citizenship, except for Muslims. Critics say it is an attack on India's secular foundations. "There is an atmosphere of fear. Why and how should I trust the government or the police," said Ansari's brother Mohammed. "Just tell me why should I trust them? They were supposed to protect us." Ajay Kumar Sahni, a senior police super superintendent told Reuters on Friday (December 27) that any rounds that were fired were to "ensure peace" and that a committee had been set up to investigate the incident. Police have cracked down on the demonstrations that have spread across India, but Uttar Pradesh state, where Meerut is located, has seen the worst violence. At least 19 of 25 deaths have taken place there. (Caption:5012EV-INDIA-CITIZENSHIP_PROTESTS_VICTIMS)

Biryani and steaming tea: Inside a sit-in protest on an Indian highway

Date:DECEMBER 21, 2019, DECEMBER 22, 2019 In a working-class corner of southern Delhi, a nearly kilometre-long stretch of a wide, six-lane highway that connects India's capital city to a burgeoning suburb has been blockaded for 10 days. A crowd of several hundred - the number ebbs and flows - has taken over the stretch, staging the occupation to protest against a new citizenship law and a proposed citizens register that has brought hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets across the country. Many men and women, some of them in Muslim burqa robes, and accompanied by children, spend their entire day and often nights here, eating, sleeping, praying, singing - all in protest. India has been rocked by demonstrations since December 12, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government enacted the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) that provides non-Muslim minorities from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who moved here before 2015 a pathway to Indian citizenship. Some of these protests have turned violent, leaving at least 21 people dead in clashes with police. But Shaheen Bagh's occupation is entirely non-violent. It is intricately organised, masterminded by two young engineers trained at the elite Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) - Aasif Mujtaba and Sharjeel, who gave only one name. From the maze-like, Muslim-dominated neighbourhood that flanks one side of the highway, a volunteer group of more than 100 men and women run the site, working in shifts and providing everything from crowd-control and food to bedding and medicines. "What we intend to achieve is to inspire communities across India, who are against this act, that they block their own cities, so India comes to a halt," said Sharjeel. Siddharth Saxena, an accountant from a Hindu family, is one of the handful handling the occupation's money. Local residents have entrusted him with 10,000 Indian rupees ($140), most of which have gone on banners and stationery, he said. But many times that amount has come via donations made in kind, including dozens of mattresses, an assortment of tables that form the foundation of the stage and endless cups of steaming tea that provide warmth on cold winter days. As the occupation draws on, both Mujtaba and Sharjeel are aware of the risks they face, the possibility of legal action and even their careers getting derailed. But both seem to have accepted the consequences. (Production: Anushree Fadnavis, Sunil Kataria) (Caption:2022AS-INDIA-CITIZENSHIP_PROTESTS)

From housewives to hijab-clad students, women take centre stage in India's protests

Date:DECEMBER 21, 2019, DECEMBER 20, 2019 Anam Hussain and Tanya Tariq, two young Muslim women in India, have been busy preparing placards to protest against a new citizenship law introduced by the government. "The whole of India, rather the world, is with us," Tariq, a former student at Jamia Millia Islamia University, said on Saturday (December 21) as she gave some finishing touches to her latest posters. Jamia Millia is a major public university in the capital New Delhi where a large number of Muslims study. As protests in India grow by the day against a new citizenship law that critics say targets Muslims, they have drawn many women and girls - some housewives, some students with hijabs covering their hair, and others in full-length burqa robes - in a rare sign of public anger against the government. The women can be seen painting graffiti on university walls, organizing rallies and gathering funds for posters and food for protesters. Anam Hussain, an architecture student at Jamia, said she had been moved to act after some of her friends had been injured when police stormed the Jamia campus to break up a protest involving hundreds of students last weekend. At least 200 students were injured as police fired tear gas and used batons to disperse the crowd. The police have denied using excess force. The protests, some of the most widespread in India in recent years, erupted on December 11 after Parliament passed the controversial law, which protesters say is an attack on India's secular foundations. The Hindu nationalist government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi insists the new law is essential as it eases the path for minorities from neighbouring countries to gain Indian citizenship. But critics say it is biased as it excludes Muslim immigrants. (Production: Neeraj Khanna, Adnan Abidi, Sunil Kataria) (Caption:6103EV-INDIA-CITIZENSHIP_PROTESTS_WOMEN)

"The whole of India, rather the world, is with us," Tariq, a former student at Jamia Millia Islamia University, said on Saturday (December 21) as she gave some finishing touches to her latest posters. Jamia Millia is a major public university in the capital New Delhi where a large number of Muslims study. As protests in India grow by the day against a new citizenship law that critics say targets Muslims, they have drawn many women and girls - some housewives, some students with hijabs covering their hair, and others in full-length burqa robes - in a rare sign of public anger against the government. The women can be seen painting graffiti on university walls, organizing rallies and gathering funds for posters and food for protesters. Anam Hussain, an architecture student at Jamia, said she had been moved to act after some of her friends had been injured when police stormed the Jamia campus to break up a protest involving hundreds of students last weekend. At least 200 students were injured as police fired tear gas and used batons to disperse the crowd. The police have denied using excess force. The protests, some of the most widespread in India in recent years, erupted on December 11 after Parliament passed the controversial law, which protesters say is an attack on India's secular foundations. The Hindu nationalist government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi insists the new law is essential as it eases the path for minorities from neighbouring countries to gain Indian citizenship. But critics say it is biased as it excludes Muslim immigrants. (Production: Neeraj Khanna, Adnan Abidi, Sunil Kataria) (Caption:6103EV-INDIA-CITIZENSHIP_PROTESTS_WOMEN)

Thousands protest citizenship law outside of Delhi mosque

Date:DECEMBER 20, Thousands protested a controversial citizenship law outside of a major mosque in the Indian capital of New Delhi on Friday (December 20) as authorities stepped up efforts to crack down on growing protests across the country. Authorities have shut down the internet in parts of northern India and imposed curfews in a southern city after two people died in clashes between police and protesters. Protests heated up outside of Jama Masjid, one of the largest in the country, just after Friday prayers, as people chanted and waved Indian national flags. Police had noticeably beefed up security around the area just before prayers. The new law makes it easier for people from non-Muslim minorities in Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who settled in India prior to 2015 to obtain Indian citizenship. Critics say the exclusion of Muslims is discriminatory, and the award of citizenship based on religion undermines India's secular constitution.

New Indian citizenship law "discriminatory" against Muslims, UN says

Date:DECEMBER 13, 2019, DECEMBER 12, 2019, FILE The United Nations human rights office voiced concern on Friday (December 13) that India's new citizenship law is "fundamentally discriminatory in nature" by excluding Muslims and called for it to be reviewed. Violent clashes erupted in Delhi between police and thousands of university students on Friday protesting the enactment of the contentious new law. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist government has said the Citizenship Amendment Bill, approved by parliament on Wednesday, was meant to protect minorities from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. "We are concerned that India's new Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019 is fundamentally discriminatory in nature," U.N. human rights spokesman Jeremy Laurence told a Geneva news briefing. The new law does not extend the same protection to Muslim migrants as to six other religious minorities fleeing persecution, thereby undermining India's commitment to equality before the law, enshrined in its constitution, he said. "We understand the new law will be reviewed by the Supreme Court of India and hope it will consider carefully the compatibility of the law with India's international human rights obligations," Laurence said.
