BJP today said it was unfortunate that some leaders are doing politics even on a suicide of a youth and the setting up of a judicial commission by the government was a befitting reply to them.
It also said that everyone should await the outcome of the judicial commission which was independent and without pressure from any one.
"Government has announced setting up of a judicial commission, which will give its report in three months time. Those who are doing politics on this issue have got a reply.
"I feel some people are doing politics on even a suicide, on which not just the Prime Minister but the entire country is pained on this kind of politics," BJP Spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said.
He said HRD Minister Smriti Irani has talked to the mother and brother of Rohith Vemula, the research scholar of Hyderabad Central University, who committed suicide.
"Smriti Irani has not said anything wrong and she has talked to the family of the student today and the talk was good," he said, rejection the Opposition charge that she had misinformed.
He said government has moved forward and set up a judicial commission, which is independent and it is not under pressure from anyone. "Everyone should wait for the outcome of the commission," he said.
Another party spokesperson M J Akbar said Congress has become a desperate party and raking up issues unnecessarily.
Congress today dismissed as "crocodile tears" Prime Minister Narendra Modi voicing his grief over the suicide of Rohith Vemula, saying he has failed to utter a word on any action against Union ministers Smriti Irani and Bandaru Dattatreya.
The Opposition party also dubbed the HRD minister as the "biggest culprit" in the matter and said that the Prime Minister has "disappointed" the whole country by "not uttering a word about any disciplinary action, any legal action" against Irani and Dattatreya.
