New Delhi, December 28 (RHC)-- In India, protests against the controversial new citizenship law continue to rage, with more demonstrations planned for the weekend.  The law provides a path to Indian citizenship for undocumented immigrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan — unless they are Muslim. 

The law’s critics say it’s a step toward the official marginalization of India’s 200 million Muslims. At least 25 people have died amid the government’s crackdown on the demonstrations. 

One of the organizers of the protests told reporters: “It seems like they are trying to pretend that they are not hearing us, but they will hear us.  We are not going to stop today.  We are not going to stop tomorrow.  We are going to stop when these acts are repealed.  We are going to stop when they hear us, when they actually look at us and tell us that we heard you, when they actually take an action that is acceptable to us.  Only then will we stop.”
