New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will visit the University of Hyderabad tomorrow to meet the students and family members of Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula who committed suicide.
Mr Kejriwal, who was scheduled to visit Bengaluru for undergoing naturopathy treatment for his chronic cough on January 22 for ten days, has deferred his visit and will now go there on January 27.
"The Chief Minister will visit the University of Hyderabad tomorrow to meet the students and the family members of the Dalit scholar who committed suicide," said sources in Delhi government.
Mr Kejriwal had yesterday demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi sack Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani, Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya and apologise to the nation over the suicide by the Dalit student, questioning their "interference" in the internal affairs of the institution.
The issue took a political turn with allegations that the extreme step taken by Rohith was a result of discrimination against Dalit students at the behest of Mr Dattatreya, following his letter to Ms Irani, seeking action against their "anti-national acts".
