Private Tribunal Records Hyderbad University Happenings Connected With Rohit’s Suicide

The left liberals always claim they respect the law of land and abide by the decisions it take whenever issues relating to them reach courts, but in reality it is completely different, they create their own courts, gather evidence, record testimonials of selected persons and finally prepare a document and brand it as private legal judgement to counter the real courts to get political and sympathetic mileage from public.

The same is happening in Hyderabad on the case related to death of Rohit Vemula, who committed suicide in January without naming anyone in his final letter. Though the government is handling the case officially, but some private persons in their own capacity held a meeting in the name of “People’s Tribunal on Caste Discrimination and Police Action in University of Hyderabad’.

This day-long private tribunal was chaired by Madras High Court former Justice K. Chandru, along with Prof G. Wankhande, former dean school of education TISS and Prof Ghanshyam Shah, former JNU faculty member.

The tribunal recorded testimonials of V. Sunkanna and Sheshiah, scholars who were part of five member team suspended by UoH along with Rohit. Prof K. Laxminarayana, K. Yesu Rathnam, Radhika Vemula, mother of Rohit too had their voice. In their explanations, they recalled the chain of events that lead to death of Rohith and subsequent happenings like police in campus, return of VC Appa Rao, and many that occurred in and out of campus.

This private tribunal also paid attention to professors who explained their version on suicides happened in 2008 (Senthil Kumar) and 2013 (P. Raju and Madari Venkatesh).

The tribunal is likely to submit its report in name of ‘People’s Report’ and it may include the suggestions and apprehensions of delay in forming SC/ST Cell at UoH.

It was attended Osmania Rtd Prof. Rama Melkote, UoH Prof. Hara Gopal, Kaki Madhava Rao, Veena Shatrugnah, Gogu Shyamala, Kaneez Fatima  and many more.
