Students Federation Of India Protest In Assam

Activists of the Students Federation of India (SFI) walking towards Brahmaputra river to immerse of Prime Minister of India, Chief Minister of Assam and the MP’s of the Parliament in protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 in Guwahati, Assam, India on Wednesday, 09 January 2019. India's lower house yesterday passed legislation that will grant citizenship to members of certain religious minorities but not Muslims. - The bill covers select groups -- including Hindus, Christians and Sikhs -- who moved from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan and who have lived in India for at least six years. The legislation, which still needs approval in the upper house, sparked a second day of protests today in the northeastern state of Assam, where millions have settled in recent decades after fleeing neighbouring countries. Last year the Assam government published a draft citizens' register that left off four million people unable to prove they were living there before 1971, when millions fled Bangladesh's war of independence.
