The Joint Action Committee (JAC) for Social Justice which has been spearheading “Justice for Rohith Vemula” agitation, deplored the efforts of Hyderabad varsity authorities to dismantle the Velivada (Dalit ghetto).
The members of the umbrella organisation of several student unions refused to remove the Velivada and burnt down order copies from the authorities in defiance.
The Velivada was initially erected by Rohith himself at the square near the university shopping complex after he, along with four other research scholars belonging to the Ambedkar Students Association (ASA), were barred from entering the hostels four months ago.
