For public consumption the spin on the Citizenship Amendment Bill is that it is about religious minorities in countries that were part of India before Partition. That would mean Bangladesh and Pakistan. Why does it include Afghanistan?

Why scholars were impeded from taking their voice beyond campus & marching peacefully?
Now, they've been warned to either disperse or face action. We condemn such heavy-handedness of state, bruising & detaining of students, for marching towards Parliament. Such harsh measures to thwart, exercise of constitutionally guaranteed democratic rights, is extremely unfortunate! Those against public education, have no right to stop demands of the students.
