A group of people staged a protest near the Myanmar embassy in New Delhi on Monday demanding restoration of citizenship rights to minority community in the country.
The protesters demanded that Muslims be rehabilitated and accommodated as citizens of Myanmar.
"Our demand is that Muslims should be accommodated soon. Myanmar has revoked their citizenship and it should be restored and they should be recalled," said protester, Abdul Nashir, protestor.
The police prevented the protesters from advancing towards the embassy by blocking the roads with barricades and standing before it.
Myanmar released the results of its first nationwide census in 30 years on Friday, but the survey excluded the country's Muslim Rohingya minority, who complain of deep state-sanctioned discrimination.
The Myanmar government had promised international sponsors that the Rohingya would be free to identify themselves as such in the census, conducted in March-April 2014, but backtracked a day before it started and said the use of the term would not be allowed.
