 "CAA, CAB, PROTEST, citizenship bill, citizenship act, NRC, national register of ctitizens, anti-CAA protest, muslims, assam")
Massive protests against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) continued for a sixth consecutive day across the country on Friday.
Protests across the country were mostly peaceful, barring the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-ruled Uttar Pradesh. Six people lost their lives in the state in violence and police action, police officials said. Samajwadi Party accused the state government of ordering the police to commit atrocities on people by barging into their homes.
In a setback to the BJP, its allies Janata Dal (United) and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) made public their reservations about NRC.
