Azad Samaj Party (Kanshiram) president and MP Chandrashekhar Azad joined the protestors at Jantar Mantar in the early hours of Sunday morning to express solidarity following the removal of climate and social activist Sonam Wangchuk by the Delhi Police.

The development comes a day after Wangchuk, who had been on hunger strike seeking the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak fiasco, was taken away from the protest site and admitted to Safdarjung Hospital.
