Kanhaiya Kumar to visit Hyderabad University today
Hyderabad, Mar 22 (IBNS) Kanhaiya Kumar, the JNU student leader, who was arrested on sedition charges, will on Wednesday visit the Hyderabad university where Dalit student Rohith Vemula killed himself in January this year.
After violent protests at the university on Tuesday, 25 students have been arrested on the charges of damaging public property, unlawful assembly, illegally confining staff and attacking the police. Classes have been suspended till Monday next.
The university has sought police protection and said in a statement that it will from today close down all gates except the main entrance to the university and will not allow "media personnel, political groups, external students, organisations and politicians into the campus."
Tuesday's protests were directed at Vice Chancellor Appa Rao Podile, who returned to work on Tuesday ending the prolonged leave he went on following Rohith Vemula's death and furious protests.
Demanding that he be removed, students kept him hostage by surrounding his office-cum-residence for six hours. They vandalised his office and also attacked the media and threw stones at the police.
Jawaharlal Nehru University Student Union president Kanhaiya Kumar has said he will visit the Hyderabad university campus on Wednesday evening to meet the protesting students.
