The students of Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh today organized a Candle March Protest on 21 January, from Maulana Azad Library to Baab-e-Syed in solidarity with the ongoing nationwide protests against the state motivated murder of a research scholar of Hyderabad Central University (HCU), Rohith Vemula.
The student fraternity of Aligarh Muslim University strongly condemns the shameless & irresponsible attitude of MHRD, union ministers Bandaru Dattatraya, Smriti Z. Irani and Vice Chancellor & administration of HCU and demands the stringent and quick action against the culprits responsible for the tragic and untimed death of the “dalit” research scholar cum activist Mr. Rohith Vemula.
This is very unfortunate that instead of uplifting the students from oppressed and weaker sections of society, highest constitutional offices in India like MHRD are indulge in weakening the oppressed classes.
The students of Aligarh Muslim University demands immediate resignation of V.C. of HCU, union labor minister Bangaru Dattatraya and union HRD minister Smriti Z. Irani, directly responsible for the abetment of suicide by Mr. Rohith Vemula
We, the students of Aligarh Muslim University also submits our deep condolences to the family and friends of our brother Mr. Rohith Vemula and demands to stop fabricating the false charges against the SC/ST and minorities of this country as motivated from the RSS and its affiliate organizations like ABVP.
