Appa Rao was reinstated to foil Kanhaiya's meeting: VHR
Hyderabad, March 23 (INN): Rajya Sabha member V. Hanumantha Rao has alleged that Hyderabad Central University's Vice-Chancellor Appa Rao was reinstated only to foil the proposed meeting of JNU Students' Union President Kanhaiaya Kumar in the HCU campus on Wednesday.
Addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan, VHR said that the government knew that Appa Rao's reinstatement would provoke the HCU students and they would protest. Citing the agitation as reason, the authorities wanted to stop Kanhaiaya Kumar from visiting the HCU. He asked as to why local police was not informed about Appa Rao's reinstatement.
VHR demanded that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao write letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi or use his influence to remove Appa Rao from the VC's post. He also condemned the arrest of about 40 HCU students who were kept in Narsingi and Miyapur police stations. He demanded their immediate release.
