New Delhi/IBNS: As the north-east is on boil over the citizenship law, the India-Japan summit which was scheduled to be held in Assam's Guwahati has been deferred.

The summit has been deferred to a "mutually convenient date in the near future".

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar tweeted, "With reference to the proposed visit of Japanese PM @AbeShinzo to India, both sides have decided to defer the visit to a mutually convenient date in the near future."

Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was scheduled to begin his India trip on Sunday. 

Assam is witnessing violent protests since Wednesday over the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019, which has now become a law.

The law will grant citizenship to all non-Hindu refugees who came to India from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan before 2015.
