India Deploys Military Over Protests Against Citizenship Bill

India is witnessing protests against a new citizenship bill passed by parliament, which provides a path to citizenship for non-Muslim minorities from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The government has deployed the military to northeastern states as protests continue. Supporters claim the bill protects persecuted groups, while critics argue it threatens local culture and discriminates against Muslims. The bill awaits the president's signature, but the Indian Union Muslim League has petitioned the Supreme Court to stop it.
