Chalo HCU : Massive Lathi Charge, arrest | Agitating students try to break into UoH LIVE

Police arrested several students who attempted to force their way into the University of Hyderabad while demanding the ouster and arrest of vice-chancellor Appa Rao on Wednesday. The agitators were physically bundled into waiting police vans and whisked away from the scene. Some students of Osmania University also staged a flash protest in front of the official residence of Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao to demand Appa Rao’s removal. However, police took them into custody and cleared the area. Earlier in the day, security was stepped up on the university campus in view of a Chalo HCU call as well as a protest organised by the Joint Action Committee for Social Justice (JACSJ) – an umbrella group of 14 student bodies – against an academic council meeting presided by Appa Rao. The JACSJ, which does not recognise Rao as the university vice-chancellor, took exception to him presiding over the meeting and called for a voluntary boycott of classes. Though the council meet was supposed to be held at the School of Life Sciences auditorium, its venue was shifted to VC Lodge in view of the Chalo HCU movement. Members of student groups such as the Students’ Federation of India, Progressive Democratic Students Union and All India Democratic Students Organisation responded to the JACSJ’s call, but were stopped at the main gate because a ban on the entry of outsiders remained in force. However, some of them tried to break through the security cordon and climb the gate. The agitators were heard raising slogans against Appa Rao as well as Union ministers Smriti Irani and Bandaru Dattatreya. Cyberabad police had erected barricades and deployed additional personnel to prevent protesting students from heading towards VC Lodge. Source : http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/c...
