Kolkata, Dec 17 (TIWN) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday came down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his comment that people indulging in arson during the anti-CAA protests can be identified by their "dress" and said the thought of categorising a political movement from the attire of participants has never crossed her mind.

Fresh protests rocked India on Monday as anger grew over new citizenship legislation slammed as anti-Muslim, after six people died in the northeast and up to 200 were injured in New Delhi.  The law fast-tracks citizenship for non-Muslims from three neighbouring countries. Critics say it is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist agenda to marginalise the 200-million strong Islamic minority.  Mr Modi on Monday denied this, tweeting that the new law "does not affect any citizen of India of any religion", while accusing "vested interest groups" of stoking the "deeply distressing" unrest.
