Hyderabad: YSR Congress SC Cell has taken strong objection to the lack of response from the TDP government towards the death of dalit scholar Rohit at the Central University campus.
"The Chief Minister N Chandrababu or his cabinet colleagues did not react to the grave incident which shows that they are anti-dalit," party SC Cell president Merugu Nagarjuna told reporters here on Wednesday.
The Vice Chancellor, who was responsible for the suspension of the dalit students by acting on the orders of the union ministers, has been very adamant.
He was appointed by Chandrababu Naidu and Venkaiah Naidu with caste taking precedence and even in ANU Rishikeswari suicide went on the same lines. We condemn the caste based politics and demand justice to the dalit scholars who are suspended.
There is every effort to dilute the case as inquires have been going at Gurazala, the native place of Rohit though not a single minister had condoled the death and were looking away when there was a social boycott against dalits, he said.
The body of Rohit has been cremated while it should have been buried according to the dalit tradition, he said.
