Azad said: “I am not a ‘Dalit Neta’, I stand with the Constitution of India, If any force goes against this Constitution and resorts to atrocities on anybody, I stand with the oppressed, I stand with Jamia.”
He further said: “I am here to let the student know I am here to protect their right to protest. This is their democratic right and I won’t let it be curbed.”
