Jama Masjid
From the very place he was taken into custody, Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad, with the Constitution in one hand, returned to the Jama Masjid on Friday afternoon, just a few hours before his court deadline to leave Delhi expires, reports Hindustan Times.
Amid the swell of protesters, Azad, aka Raavan, sitting on the steps of the Masjid, read out Preamble to the Constitution. Azad, 33, was released from Tihar Jail on bail on Thursday night and received a rousing welcome by his supporters. At Jama Masjid in old Delhi, where anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protest was taking place, Azad also lauded women participating in the anti-CAA protests at Shaheen Bagh, JamiaMillia University and other parts of the country.
“This (anti CAA) movement is for the future of this country, for our identity and to uphold the Constitution. It is our responsibility to strengthen it,” he said. Azad said it is the fundamental duty of citizens to protect the Constitution and also urged people to carry out peaceful protests against the CAA.
