Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday wrote to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, seeking justice for Dr Kafeel Khan who was arrested for allegedly making inflammatory statements at the Aligarh Muslim University during his speech against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

In the letter, Priyanka Gandhi wrote that she wanted to bring Dr. Kafeel Khan's case to the Chief Minister's notice. Dr Khan has spent more than 450 days in jail so far. He has served people selflessly in difficult situations.
