What we are witnessing is a violation of the basic principles of the
Indian Constitution,” they said, to applause and added that Union Ministers
Smriti Irani (Human Resources Development) and Bandaru Dattatreya (Labour) and
the Vice-Chancellor P. Appa Rao should be sacked from their positions, and
criminal proceedings be launched against them under the Scheduled Castes and
Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Even as leaders were addressing an
enthusiastic audience comprising students, social activists and representatives
of people’s organisations, active members of the Ambedkar Students Association
who were organising the agitation were arguing among themselves. When a student
leader welcomed Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy as ‘my beloved leader’, it was not
well-received. Earlier, being among the first to visit the campus on Wednesday,
Mr. O’Brien said, “It is a clearly a fight between injustice and justice. The
Parliament is currently not in session, but the Trinamool Congress is
coordinating with other political parties. We will be here just to support you.
It is the students who will lead the movement.” He added that Delhi Chief
Minister Arvind Kejriwal would visit the campus on Thursday.
