On Tuesday, after conducting a day-long search, seizures and detentions, Delhi Police arrested NewsClick founder and its editor-in-chief Prabir Purkayastha and Amit Chakravarty, firm’s human resources head, under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

At the Pratapgarh event, the SP chief also said: “Give us back our pre-2014 prices of petrol. If they can’t do, then at least they should take the bulls off-roads.”

On the caste census demand, he said: “Caste census is important for the rights and dignity of all and the Samajwadi Party will now fight further for it.”
