After release from Tihar, Kanhaiya Kumar' was given an uproarious welcome in JNU by a massive gathering of azadi shouting students and staff.
Kanhaiya Kumar' clarified that azadi for them meant freedom within India not from it.
He reiterated his faith in the constitution, spelt out the secular, egalitarian and socialist society it envisaged.
He took on Modi, pointing at the PM's Satya Meva Jayate tweet after the Smriti Irani's aggressive speech in Parliament. Subtly pointing at his own release, Kanhaiya Kumar said he would also say Satya Meva Jayate.
Kanhaiya Kumar may have been in jail for two weeks. But it was clear that he was on top of the developments and came prepared to take on those who had imprisoned him for sedition.
Other highlights of his speech:
