Violent Protests Erupt in New Delhi Over India's New Citizenship Law VOA News Police in India's capital clashed Friday with hundreds of students protesting against a new citizenship law that opponents say is anti-Muslim. Police fired tear gas and used batons against the demonstrators at Jamia Millia Islamia, a public university in New Delhi. The protesting students threw stones at police. Protests also continued Friday in the northeastern state of Assam, where demonstrations first broke out Wednesday after India's upper house of Parliament passed the citizenship bill.
