On the eve of US President Donald Trump’s arrival in India, stone-pelting incidents between groups for and against the Citizenship Amendment Act were witnessed at Maujpur in northeast Delhi today, prompting police to fire tear gas shells.

Clashes erupted after BJP leader Kapil Mishra addressed a pro-CAA demonstration at Maujpur, 1 km from Jaffrabad Metro station where a Shaheen Bagh-like agitation against the law has been building up since last evening.

Hundreds of burqa-clad women are sitting at Jaffrabad Metro station demanding the withdrawal of CAA, which grants faster citizenship to non-Muslim minorities from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
