Around 140 people were detained on Monday as fresh protests by students and activists against the amended citizenship law erupted in Delhi. The opposition stepped up protests with the Congress holding a 'Satyagraha for unity' at Mahatma Gandhi's memorial Rajghat and its ally DMK leading a massive rally in Chennai, while scattered demonstration were held against the contentious law in several states by students and others. Several protests are planned across the country on Tuesday.
The Jamia Coordination Committee has also called for a protest march. The BJP, meanwhile, will take out a ‘support rally’ in Ahmedabad. The students of Jamia Millia Islamia University will be marching from Mandi House to Home Minister's residence.
