Hyderabad varsity bars student leader Kanhaiya

HYDERABAD: JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar was barred from visiting the Hyderabad Central University, shortly after he promised a “struggle” for Dalit PhD scholar Rohith Vemula, who took his own life over alleged harassment. The student leader said the university's Joint Action Committee for Social Justice wanted the centre to enact a law called the 'Rohith Act', to fight against caste discrimination. “We have experience with JAC for various struggles and we will take this fight forward. This struggle will continue until 'Rohith Act' is implemented to fulfil his dreams of social justice on the campus,” Kumar said. With the ongoing protests in the university, outsiders are barred from the campus and classes have been suspended for four days.
