The protests and agitations have been on the rise to show the opposition for the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Students of Islamia College in Vaniyambadi joined the protests on Thursday as hundreds of students gathered in front of their college and staged a demonstration holding placards and raising slogans. They marched on the roads, posing law and order problems for the police.

They raised slogans against the Union government for passing such a draconian act to suppress the rights of minorities and Tamils from neighbouring Sri Lanka. Over 100 policemen were pressed into service to manage the gathering, which dispersed after an hour. Even after classes resumed, police pickets were posted in front of colleges and all public places to maintain law and order.

Meanwhile, students from the Government Law College in Vellore staged a protest inside their campus against the enactment of CAA.
