Shatavahana University students hold dharna against denial of permission

​Karimnagar : The representatives of the various student organisations staged a dharna holding black flags in front of the Administrative Building of the Shatavahana University in the town on Sunday for not giving them permission to organise meeting on Monday under the aegis of the Vidhya Parirakshana Committee.

Speaking on the occasion, the District President of the ‘Democratic Student Union’ (DSU), Janardhan said that as per Indian Constitution, everyone has a right to organise meetings and express their opinion.

“The University Vice-Chancellor and Registrar were acting against democratic norms and suppressing the Constitutional Right of Freedom of Speech by not giving permission to organise a meeting on Monday under ‘Vidhya Parirakshana Committee’ to which Prof. Haragopal, Prof. Kondaram, Prof.Lakshminarayana and other noted educationists are going to attend,” he alleged.

“Is it not unfair with the students who want to organise a meeting to demand the government for solving their problems and to save public education from the onslaught of the private education,” he questioned.

He demanded the University officials and the government to give them permission immediately for conducting the meeting. Otherwise, various student organisations would launch a massive agitation to teach a fitting lesson to the government, he warned.

The Student leaders of SU-JAC, DSU, TVV, MSF and PDSU student organisations Bhagyaraj, Mahesh, Ganesh, Kranthi, Vinod, Upendar, Nagaraju, Shirisha, Sathish, Mounika, Madhuri, Kumaraswamy, Raveena and Suresh were present along with others.
