Addressing students at the campus, Kumar, who has been slapped with sedition charge, said, "I have many differences with the PM but I agree with his tweet Satyameva Jayate because these words are in our Constitution," he said, as his passionate speech was punctuated by repeated cheers and raising of slogans. "We are not seeking ‘azaadi’ (freedom) from India. We want ‘azaadi’ within India," he said.
Jubilations at the JNU campus which erupted after Kumar was granted bail by the Delhi HC acquired a new momentum with the students, agitating since his arrest, taking out a march shouting slogans like ‘Jai Kanhaiya Lal ki’.
