THE WHISTLER reported that India’s cabinet had approved a bill to grant religious-based nationality to refugees persecuted in neighboring countries; but the new law did not include migrants of the Muslim faith.

BBC reports that twenty-three people have been killed so far in the clashes which broke out on Sunday between protesters for and against a controversial citizenship law.
