Reports of activists and students being detained for demonstrations against the implementation of the Act have now resurfaced. Eminent historian Ramchandra Guha, who was a part of the protests being held near the Tower Hall in Bengaluru was detained by the police earlier on Thursday. He was taken away by police personnel and led to a vehicle parked nearby. Reacting to his detention, Guha said it was "absolutely undemocratic" that police were not allowing even a peaceful protest, which is the democratic right of citizens. His arrest is being condemned by many politicians and political parties across the country, including the Trinamool Congress.
Apart from Guha, several protesters including Left leaders Sitaram Yechury, D Raja, activist and Swarajya Abhiyan chief Yogendra Yadav were detained for taking part in anti-citizenship law stir defying prohibitory orders.
