Scores of students from Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) University staged a protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019 on Monday in New Delhi. The agitated students were heard sloganeering against Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central government and demanded that the Act which has been passed recently should not be implemented. The students also shouted slogans against the Delhi Police and demanded actions against the Delhi Police who entered their campus last week and attacked students which ended up injuring many students and policemen.

The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Zoroastrian communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before 31 December 2014.
