Modi meets ministers over security situation amid worsening protests
03:02

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with his council of ministers on Saturday to discuss the worsening security situation amid violent protests. At least 20 people have been killed in clashes between police and people demonstrating against a controversial new citizenship law. Critics say the law discriminates against Muslims and undermines India's secular constitution. Protests continued on Saturday despite curfews and harsh regulations to shut down protests. The backlash is the strongest show of dissent against Modi's government since he was first elected in 2014. Asia Today invited political analyst Ajay Jha to give his view on the latest events in India.
