Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday condemned the violence in Uttar Pradesh during the protests against Citizenship (Amendment) Act, saying there was a need to "introspect".

"People who damaged public property and were involved in violence in the name of protest in UP, should introspect if what they did was right," PM Modi said in his address at the foundation laying ceremony of Atal Bihari Medical University in Lucknow.

"Issues of Article 370 and Ram Temple have been resolved peacefully. The way to give citizenship to refugees from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan has been cleared. 130 crore Indians have found solution to such challenges with confidence," he added.

Protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act had broken out in several districts of Uttar Pradesh on Thursday, leaving at least 17 people dead and moveable and immoveable assets damaged, mostly in arson.
