Visakhapatnam: The bus tour which was initiated by the HCU students concluded at Andhra University on Wednesday.
The JAC of University of Hyderabad kicked off a bus tour on February 10, demanding justice to HCU scholar Rohith Vemula who recently committed suicide, and toured various universities in both Telugu states. Various student unions also supported it and joined the week-long bus tour.
Speaking on this occasion, Prof. Sharon Raju, a faculty of Andhra University, said that they would fight until justice is served to the family of Rohith. “We ask the government to hasten the inquiry and punish the culprits in the case. To prevent the suicides of students and employees from the marginalised sections of the society, the government should bring a new law for them".
"Union government should also form a judiciary committee to study the caste-based discrimination and prejudice in various universities. We would take up the Chalo Delhi programme to protest against the injustice meted by the Central government to Rohith on February 20,” added Prof. Raju.
