New Delhi: Protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and proposed nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC) continued on Monday across India without any reports of violence. Top Congress leadership sat on a 'Satyagraha for Unity' at Mahatma Gandhi's memorial, Rajghat, demanding protection of the rights of people as enshrined in the Constitution.

Several political leaders led protests in Chennai as well, while hundreds continued demonstrations in Bengaluru and Assam. The Opposition also slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his remark that the BJP government never discussed a nationwide NRC. NCP chief Sharad Pawar said President Ram Nath Kovind had talked about the government's plan to implement NRC across the country in his joint address to Parliament.
