SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore police are investigating an Indian national for allegedly being involved in a public protest against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's controversial citizenship law. Unauthorised public assemblies and protests over political situations in other countries are banned in Singapore. Hundreds of thousands of people have taken to Indian streets to protest against the citizenship law enacted by Modi's Hindu nationalist government that provides non-Muslim minorities from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who moved there before 2015 a pathway to Indian citizenship. Singapore police said following a report on Dec. 24 they were investigating a 32-year-old male Indian national for participating in "a public assembly without a police permit" at the Marina Bay waterfront financial and tourist district.
