BSP chief Mayawati and Aazad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) president Chandrashekhar Azad clashed over protests following the murder of a Scheduled Caste college student in Meerut. Mayawati urged Dalits to seek justice through constitutional means and accused Azad of shedding "crocodile tears" for political gain. Azad hit back, saying he was fighting for justice while others stayed home.
