This was not a caste battle, says minister Smriti Irani on Hyderabad student suicide : NewspointTV

The suicide of a young research scholar which has incited large student protests across the country is being misrepresented with "malicious intent" as "a Dalit vs non-Dalit confrontation," said Education Minister Smriti Irani. "This was not a caste battle," Ms Irani said, amid a national debate about whether caste discrimination pushed Rohith Vemula to hang himself at the Hyderabad Central University on Sunday. Students at the university have been boycotting classes since then, alleging that the Vice Chancellor and union minister Bandaru Dattatreya unfairly pushed for Mr Vemula and four of his friends to be suspended after they clashed in August with students from the BJP's youth wing, the ABVP.
