After being detained, Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the government. He said, “Modi ji, try every effort, use all your strength, this fight for justice of the students will not stop now.” He further said, “Arrest, put in jail, it does not matter. The power of our Satyagraha is greater than the power of the Modi government. The atrocities committed against our children will have to be accounted for.” Many opposition leaders including Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Priyanka Gandhi, KC Venugopal, DK Shivkumar, Jairam Ramesh, Randeep Surjewala, Pawan Kheda were present in the protest.

Rahul Gandhi alleged that the government neither wants to fix accountability on the issue related to students nor is it allowing discussion on it in Parliament. At the same time, Priyanka Gandhi also reiterated the demand for the resignation of the Education Minister and discussion in the Parliament. Earlier, both the leaders had also gone to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and met the injured students.
