Here are the excerpts:
• I want to thank everyone who has stood with JNU.
• I want to thank the people sitting in Parliament deciding what is right and what is wrong.
• I want thank their police and some media channels.
• I have no hatred towards anybody, especially towards ABVP.
• Because the ABVP we have on campus is more rational than the ABVP outside.
• There will be no witch hunt against them.
• We have no ill feelings towards ABVP because we truly believe in democracy and the Constitution.
• We don't look at ABVP as the enemy, we look at them like the Opposition.
• The best thing about how JNU has stood up in one voice was that it was spontaneous
• They had all of it planned but we were spontaneous.
• We stand up for all parts of Constitution - socialism, secularism and equality.
• I don't want to comment on the case. It is sub judice.
• I have many differences with the PM but I agree with his tweet - Satyameva Jayate - truth will triumph.
• In railway stations you will find a guy who shows you magic tricks. We have some people like that in our country.
• They say black money will come back, sabka saath sabka vikas, equality and all that.
• Yes we Indians forget things too soon but this time the tamasha is too big. These jumlas wont be forgotten.
• But what will happen if you speak up?
• Their cyber-cell will release doctored videos and count condoms in your dustbins.
• This is a planned attack to delegitimise the UGC protests, to prevent justice to Rohith Vemula.
• But let me just say it is not easy to get admission in JNU neither it is easy to silence those in JNU.
• You cannot dilute our struggle.
• They say soldiers are dying on the borders - I salute them.
• I want to ask the BJP lawmaker who said in Parliament that soldiers are dying on the border - is he your son or brother?
• He is the son or father of the farmer who is dying of drought.
• Do not create a false debate in this country.
• Who is responsible for their deaths?
• We will not rest till everybody has an equal right to prosperity.
• We are not asking for freedom from India because India has not colonised anyone.
• The man fighting on the border, perhaps he wanted to study but he couldn't get to JNU.
• You want to silence one Rohith, today look how big that revolution has become.
• I realised one thing in jail. We people of JNU speak in civilised voices, but we use heavy terminologies.
• Perhaps it doesn't reach the common man. We have to establish communication with the common people.
• We will bring Sabka Saath Sabka Vikaas for real.
• Today the honourable PM was talking about Stalin, I say Modi ji speak about Hitler too sometimes. Or maybe Mussolini?
• He speaks of Mann Ki Baat but doesn't listen.
• What is happening today in the country is very dangerous.
• It is not about one party, one news channel.
• I have never told this to anybody but my family makes Rs. 3,000. Can you imagine somebody like me doing a PhD in any other college?
• And they are calling anybody who stands up for this, traitor?
• What kind of a self-proclaimed nationalism is this?
• I want to remind our government that 69 per cent voted against you.
• Just 31 per cent voted for you and some of them were caught up in your jumlas.
• And today they are running a distraction campaign so that people don't ask them the real questions.
• RSS mouthpiece The Organiser did a cover story on JNU.
• If they can reason in a debate why JNU should be shut for four months, I will agree with them.
• They want to suppress the voice of dissent but I want to tell them, you will never be able to do that.
• Once again let's raise slogans for freedom - not from India, but within India.
• Freedom from hunger, poverty, the caste system - all of that.
