New Delhi, Jan 27 Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad arrived in Delhi on Monday morning after he was put on a flight by police in Hyderabad, where he was detained while on his way to take part in an anti-CAA and anti-NRC event. Promising to be “back soon”, the Dalit leader said on Twitter early on Monday that Bahujan society would never forget the insult. Azad, who landed in Delhi shortly after 9 am, said police had denied demonstrators the right to protest and alleged that they had been beaten up. “In Telangana, dictatorship is at its peak, people's right to protest is being snatched, first our people were lathicharged, then I was arrested, now I am being taken to the airport and are sending me to Delhi. “Remember Bahujan society will never forget this insult. Will be back soon,” he tweeted, tagging the Telangana Chief Minister's Office. Azad is unwell and will be taken to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, his aides said. If he's okay, the Dalit leader will go to Karnataka on Tuesday to address two rallies in Gulbarga and Bidar.
