Hyderabad: CPI leader Dr K Narayana today lashed out at the police for resorting to lathi-charge at Hyderabad Central University. Narayana expressed his anguish over the deployment of police force at the HCU. “Is it a university or a police camp or an educational institution”, he fumed.
Speaking to the media at Shamshabad International Airport after receiving JNU Delhi student union leader Kanaiya Kumar here, along with CPI Telangana Secretary Chada Venkat Reddy and others, Narayana asked the police to vacate the campus to enable the students to protest against the Vice Chancellor’s return. “Else we will intensify our protests in the State”, the CPI leader warned. He also criticized the police for sending out the students from the varsity which was wrong. Kanaiya came to console Rohit Vemula’s mother, who is on protest against VC’s return, he said.
