Kashyap also met BJP party president JP Nadda later in the day. After joining the BJP, Manish Kashyap said that the BJP is a party with a difference and he will keep working for nationalism.
“Only the BJP could have given this honour to the son of a poor family. There are a few parties in Bihar that don’t let you even join if you don’t approach with full (of cash) suitcases. BJP respects the poor, women, YouTubers. So, the BJP is a different party and that is why it has emerged as the biggest capable party in the world,” Manish Kashyap said.
Earlier, the Madras High Court quashed the detention order against YouTuber Manish Kashyap.
While quashing the detention order, the HC observed that the authorities had not followed due procedure while detaining Kashyap under the NSA Act. The court thus directed Kashyap to be set at liberty if he was not needed in connection with any other case.
The case pertains to a complaint lodged in connection with an alleged fake video that was uploaded on YouTube in March this year claiming that migrant workers from Bihar were being assaulted in Tamil Nadu and that they were not safe in the State.
