Mayawati raises Rohit Vermula issue in Rajya Sabha
New Delhi, Feb 24 (IBNS) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Wednesday raised the issue of Dalit student Rohit Vermula's suicide in Rajya Sabha attacking the RSS for its role in the tragedy.

She blamed it on the RSS agenda against the backward classes.
Her lawmakers also raised slogans inside the upper house and stormed into the well of the house.
"We want justice for Rohit," they chanted.
