Several Muslim outfits are holding protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR) in Tamil Nadu on Wednesday (19 February).
In the state capital Chennai, a large number of Muslims men and women are holding procession from Kalaivanar Arangam to lay siege of the Tamil Nadu Assembly. The protesters are carrying tricolour.
The protesters demand the state government pass a resolution in the Assembly to the effect that CAA will not be implemented in the state.
Security has been beefed up near the Assembly and along the procession route to prevent any untoward incidents.
Similarly, anti-CAA protests are held in other parts of the state like Trichy, Cuddalore, Tiruvannamalai and others.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
