The Congress leader was addressing students at the Ambedkar Welfare Hostel (AWH) in Darbhanga district, where he defied attempts by local administration to stop him from reaching the venue at the Lalit Narayan Mithila University campus. Gandhi was in the north Bihar town to launch the 'Shiksha Nyay Samvad', an outreach programme of the party in the state, where assembly polls are due later this year.
