Hyderabad University Incidents: Telangana Assembly Feels The Heat

The incidents at Hyderabad Central University and Osmania University rocked the Telangana assembly on Saturday with the opposition stalling the proceedings to demand a full-fledged debate.

• The house was adjourned thrice since morning as the opposition Congress and the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) insisted on a debate on the police brutality against students at Hyderabad Central University (HCU).
  
• As soon as the house met for the day, the two parties demanded their adjournment motions on the issue be taken up, but Deputy Speaker Padmadevender Reddy rejected this.

The Congress party also raised the issue relating to the attack on its legislator Sampath Kumar’s car in Osmania University and demanded action against those involved. The MLA’s vehicle was damaged when he visited OU campus on March 23 when students were staging a protest after the recovery of a man’s body from a sump.

Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said that the attack on the MLA’s car in Osmania University was condemnable. The chief minister, however, wondered why the Congress MLA did not lodge a complaint with police.
