in india, prime minister narendra modi is trying to calm anger over a controversial new citizenship law, saying indian muslims have nothing to fear from it. at least 20 people have been killed in days of protests over the law, which have often been put down with force by police. our south asia correspondent rajini vaidya nathan reports. days of deadly violence, as indians continue to oppose a law they say is an assault on the rights of the country's 200 million muslims. as curfews were imposed and internet was blocked in india's largest state, uttar pradesh, protesters say they've been brutally silenced. as the death toll rises, reports some victims were shot by the police — a charge authorities deny. at a rally today, india's prime minister, narendra modi, expressed his support for the country's police, but failed to mention the civilian deaths, and defended his citizenship amendment act, the caa, which offers only non—muslim illegal immigrants from certain countries fast—track nationality. translation: muslims who were born on indian soil shouldn't be concerned by the caa order
