New Delhi: On Thursday, Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union President Kanhaiya Kumar said that the students want “Freedom in India, not freedom from India. Soon after the release from Tihar Jail, he addressed a mass crowd of students at the campus.
While addressing the gathering, he said, “It is not azaadi from India, we want azaadi in India from oppression, poverty .”
After his speech at JNU #KanhaiyaKumar is trending on Twitter at number 6. In the entire world.
He said, “The attack on JNU is a planned one as they want to de-legitimise the UGC protest, and to dilute the fight for justice for Rohith Vemula.”
He also stated, “I come from a village, where there are magic shows. People show magic and sell rings that fulfil all wishes…We have some people like that in our country, who say black money will come back, sabka saath sabka vikas.”
“We Indians forget easily but the drama this time was so big that we still remember all the ‘Jumla’ used during election campaign. If you speak against the government, their cyber cell will send your doctored videos and count the number of condoms in your hostel; 69 per cent people of this country voted against their ideology. Only 31 per cent are those who were fooled by their ‘Jumlebaazi’,” he added.
Mr. Kumar said, “I want to tell the entire nation, today, what is the azadi that we ask for. We want azadi from capitalism, from brahminism, from casteism, this is the kind of azadi that we want.”
“When I spent time in jail, I realised that the constable who was taking me for medical tests, for food, they are also people like me. They are also a part of the corrupt system. When I tried to explain to them my views, they understood what is the kind of azadi that we have been demanding,” he added.
