The protest was called by the Jamia Teachers’ Association (JTA) against the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019.
The Centre is facing heavy flak from the opposition and the critics of the CAA who dub it “anti-Muslim” claiming the law discriminates on the basis of religion.
The contentious law seeks to give citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who entered India before December 31, 2014.
