O'Brien, who was speaking in the HCU where he met the protesting students and expressed solidarity with them, said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal would come to the HCU tomorrow, followed by the visit of a JD(U) delegation.
Addressing the protesting students, he said political leaders would support the agitation to be led by the students.

"This country has always prided itself in inclusion but now, we are making it, it is either my way or no way. On one side, his government talks about digital India. Digital India be gone, it is 'divisive India," he said.

"This is a confrontation between tolerance and intolerance. This is a confrontation between justice and injustice," TMC national spokesperson Derek O'Brien said in a statement.
