Wherever there is a death by suicide on any cause, YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy is there with his “Odarpu Yatra.” And he knows it will get him a lot of publicity.
On Wednesday, Jagan did his Odarpu Yatra in University of Hyderabad, where a Dalit scholar committed suicide. Last evening, he went to Rohit’s residence and consoled his mother. And on Wednesday, he went to the University to talk to students and tried to console them.
Asserting that YSR Congress will take up the issue of discrimination of Dalits in the University of Hyderabad (UoH), Jagan demanded that action should be taken against the Vice Chancellor and all others involved and has urged the authorities to revoke the suspension on the remaining students.
‘The suicide of a brilliant student due to discrimination and the uncalled for interference of Union Ministers is disheartening and action should be taken against all those responsible for the events that led to the death of the dalit student Rohit,’ the Leader of Opposition in Andhra Pradesh Assembly told reporters .
“We will take up the issue in the Parliament and question the concerned ministers for their uncalled for intervention which turned the situation from bad to worse. We firmly believe that the interference of union ministers is unwarranted.
