The mother of Dalit student Rohit Vemula, who committed suicide on January 17, started a sit-in outside the University of Hyderabad on Wednesday night after she was denied entry to meet students wounded in police action.

Radhika Vemula’s protest came on a day JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar compared her with freedom fighter Bhagat Singh’s mother.




style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">University security officials said Radhika wanted to hold a demonstration inside the campus but Raja Vemula, the younger brother of Rohith, dismissed the allegation. He said his mother simply wanted to meet the wounded students.

Kumar, who was in Hyderabad, alleged that the NDA government turned the February event at JNU, where seditious slogans were allegedly shouted, into a row to divert people’s attention from Vemula’s suicide.
