Harsh Mander At University of Hyderabad



Harsh Mander, social activist, addressed the students gathered in the evening hours at shopping complex of University of Hyderabad and demanded for action against VC Appa Rao, alleging him to be responsible for the unrest in the campus since two months.


Mr.  Mander was in the campus on the invitation of Department of Mass Communication for a talk with students on 4 April. He said civil disobedience is an important part and charging with sedition for dissent should be questioned.


On the same day, outside the university, CPI national secretary Narayana held a “Chalo Rajbhavan” rally with various student organizations with the demand of action against VC Appa Rao. However, police intervened and arrested the leaders and students. 

In last week three CPI Kerala MP’s, and social activists Yogendra Yadav, Teestha Satalvad, Medha Patkar all tried to meet the students inside the campus to speak on Rohit Vemula issue, but they all were prevented by security personal due to restrictions on entry of non-students.
