Opposition parties on Tuesday hit out at the NDA government for what it termed as injustice to the student community and alleged that it was the Union government that should be held responsible for the suicide of Dalit PhD scholar Rohith Vemula.
The ‘Chalo Delhi’ rally, organised by the Joint Action Committee for Social Justice (JACSJ), saw thousands of students – some travelling from Hyderabad – march from Ambedkar Bhawan in Jhandewalan to Jantar Mantar, where politicians took centre-stage, demanding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi sack his Cabinet colleagues for ‘their role’ in the ‘institutional murder’ of Rohith.
