In view of the suicide of a dalit scholar in University of Hyderabad, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for being unable to protect dalits and dubbed the incident as a murder of democracy and social justice.

"Modi govt constitutionally duty bound to uplift dalits. Instead Modi ji's ministers got five dalit students ostracised n suspended," tweeted Kejriwal.

Kejriwal further named the suicide as a murder.

"It's not suicide. It's murder. It's murder of democracy, social justice n equality. Modi ji shd sack ministers n aplogoize to the nation," he added.

One of the five dalit scholars, expelled from the University of Hyderabad 12 days ago, hanged himself to death on Sunday.

 

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to visit the protesting students at the Hyderabad University.
