    What's the story

    As nationwide agitation over the Citizenship Amendment Act continues to grow, authorities moved to foil protests planned for Thursday.

    In Delhi, the police denied the requests for protests and imposed Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) at Red Fort. The procedure prohibits the assembly of more than 4 persons.

    Reportedly, Section 144 was also imposed across Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka.

    Details

    Delhi Police denied requests for 2 protests in Delhi

    In Delhi, a protest march was planned from the Red Fort to Shaheed Park at 11 am. At 12 pm, another protest march was to take off from Mandi House to Parliament Street.

    The Delhi Police denied the requests to protest from a "law and order, security and traffic point of view."

    On Thursday morning, CrPC Section 144 was imposed near the Red Fort.

    Controversy

    Why are people protesting against CAA?

    The above list is inexhaustive as protests have been spreading like wildfire since last week when the Citizenship Amendment Bill received Presidential assent.

    The legislation makes provisions for according Indian citizenship to non-Muslim illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, if they entered India on or before December 31, 2014.

    This goes against India's secular fabric, protestors say.
