The article titled “A 22-year-old rank-holder takes on mighty Jamia University over democracy” dated Aug. 15,  talks about Rahman’s activism, legal battle with Jamia, and Jamia’s attempt to harass and malign his good name.

Rahman is quoted to have said:

We are not allowed raise questions. Students who raised their voice have been removed, banned from campus. A fear psychosis has been created on campus. In democratic India, an undemocratic Jamia is being created. Our legal fundamental human rights are being suppressed. That is when I decided I should go to court to restore students union on campus.
