Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad's release from jail victory for citizen's rights, shows tactic to isolate him didn't work

Firstpost  

Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad, who was released from jail on 13 September after being arrested under NSA a year ago, calls himself ‘Ravan’ to identify with those aspects of our culture that others may see as repulsive It is not often in the world of human rights where I work, that a clear win for the rights of Indian citizens is achieved. Then he got bail in November 2017, and was immediately again put in jail, this time under the National Security Act, which allows the government to keep someone behind bars for one year without trial. The Dalits rallied in support of Azad, and ultimately the Uttar Pradesh government’s tactic of trying to isolate Azad did not work and it was forced to release him on the night of 13 September. From what I saw, Azad clearly has become a mass leader and the Bhim Army Bharat Ekta Mission will be a political force of some standing.
