As demonstrators gathered to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, the Delhi Police on Tuesday imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the IPC in Mandi House to maintain law and order situation. A large number of Jamia students gathered and took out a massive protest rally from Mandi House to Jantar Mantar in the national capital against the law. 

In West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took out a protest march against Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens in Kolkata. Protests were also seen in Karnataka's Hubli and other parts of the country.

Meanwhile, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who were on their way to Meerut, to meet the kin of the victims who lost their lives in violent protests, were stopped by the police on the border and were forced to return to Delhi.  

A complaint was also filed against Congress interim chief Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi for giving provocative speeches against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
