Dozens of Hindus and Sikhs in India organized human chains to protect Muslims from the security forces, while they were praying in the midst of protests against the citizenship law.

Last week, a law in India was passed, granting citizenship rights to illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to minorities namely Hindus, Buddhism, Jain, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and Sikhs.

The aforementioned law is concerned with immigrants who entered India before the year 2015, and no legal reform has been taken for the rights of citizens in India such as those mentioned for Muslims in the country, which caused widespread objections.
