Two people died in India's southern Mangalore after being shot,... and another person was killed in the northern Lucknow during a clash with police.
"We are protesting because the Citizenship Amendment Act is anti-constitution, it's against the idea of India, it is anti-Muslim and it is anti-indigenous."
This mass protests began upon the approval of the controversial citizenship law,... which was pushed by India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The law offers Indian citizenship to illegal immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan,... when they are either Hindu, Buddhist or Christian,... but not Muslim.
This has prompted a strong backlash from Muslims in the country,... calling it "discrimination" against a certain religious group, and against India's secular constitution.
But Modi, who has been bolstering Hindu nationalism,... dismissed such concerns and vowed to quell the anti-government protests.
A protest ban has been implemented across India's states,... while internet was shut down by the government.
