The Citizenship Act protests turned violent in Delhi's Seelampur area as protesters threw stones at policemen who fired at the crowd and used tear gas shells. Earlier, the Opposition parties continued their protests over the passage of the Citizenship Act. In West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee held another march from 8B bus stand in Kolkata to Howrah.

In Tamil Nadu, Opposition DMK carried out a demonstration led by party chief MK Stalin.

In Delhi, senior Opposition leaders, including Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, are scheduled to meet President Ram Nath Kovind over the police action against Jamia Millia Islamia students who were protesting against the citizenship act.
