"It shows the desperation of the government...
We are women who are not scared of them," Kalita told reporters after coming out of the jail gates, amid a sea of supporters shouting slogans.
"We survived because we received tremendous support from friends, from well-wishers.
I thank them
Narwal who was out of jail for three weeks after the sudden demise of her father Mahavir Narwal due to Covid said she doesn`t want to comment on the case as it`s still in court.
"However, we would like to thank the Delhi High Court for upholding what we believe in.
Any such protest that we have done is not terrorism.
It was a democratic protest, led by women," Narwal said.
