AU bandh on SC quota successful
December 15th, 2010
DC Correspondent Share Buzz up!Visakhapatnam, Dec. 14: The bandh
called by the Dalit Vidyarthi Sa-maikhya in Andhra University on
Tuesday was total.
Dalit students protested against the decision taken by the Chief
Minister, Mr N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, to send an all party delegation to
New Delhi on the categorisation of Scheduled Castes.
All sections of Arts, Commerce and Law colleges on the university
campus were shut down by the protesting dalit students who moved from
one classroom to another, forcing out the students.
They were also successful in closing down the administration wings of
various departments.
The students later organised a dharna in front of the Andhra
University registrar's office.
Dalit Vidyarthy Samakhya convenor K. Mahesh, who led the agitation in
the campus, told reporters that government had taken a positive view
of categorisation without having a clear idea how many sub-castes were
in the Scheduled Castes.
He demanded that the government decide, keeping in view the judgment
given by the Supreme Court.
Later, submitting a memorandum to vice-chancellor Prof. Beela
Satyanarayana, Mr Mahesh demanded that reservation for Scheduled
Castes be increased to 22 per cent.
Other leaders alleged that funds sanctioned under the sub-plan for the
Scheduled Caste were being diverted to other causes.
