Muslims march over Citizens Amendment Bill, National Register of Citizenship

They are on the edge, following allegations that the Citizens Amendment Bill discriminates against Muslim refugees from neighboring countries. There are also concerns that the national NRC (national register of citizenship) rollout may spark protests on the lines of those in North-East.

Pointing to the fact that onus of proving who is not a citizen lies on the government, the protesters want government and all political parties to make efforts to revoke CAB and stop instilling fear among common people. Some were of the view that CAB is a plain communal & divisive bill that only invites non-Muslim refugees from certain countries.

While it is totally against Muslims, it also does not consider the Sri Lankan Tamil refugees and the Tibetan refugees most of whom are non-Muslims. The peaceful protest march continued and joined by many a common men & women.
