New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, a few days after urging Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to urge similar legislation to enact, enacted laws to ensure no one has made laws in the education system to ensure no one faces discrimination based on caste.
Gandhi urged Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and his Himaal Pradesh Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu to formulate a “Rohit Vemula Act” and asserted that Congress was fully committed to providing children with equal education to every child.
“Unless every student receives respect, security and equal opportunity without discrimination, our education system cannot be fair to all. After writing to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah ji, I have written a letter to Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu ji and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy ji and requested them to implement a ‘Rohit Vemula Act’,” he said in a post in Hindi on X.
He added: “Congress is fully committed to providing equal educational opportunities for every child and eliminating caste discrimination.” The former congressional director quoted BR Ambedkar in his letter to highlight the discrimination he faces.
He also quoted Ambedkar as saying that the constitution’s chief architect faces discrimination even when he is sitting in a corner.
He said in our letter: “You will agree that Dr. Br Ambedkar faces shameless and should not be tolerated by any child in India. It is a pity that even today, millions of students from Dalit, Adivasi and OBC (other backward class) communities must face this cruel discrimination in our education system.”
“Murdering smart young men like Rohith Vemula, Payal Tadvi and Darshan Solanki is simply unacceptable. It’s time to give a solid ending. I urge the Telangana government to enact the “Rohith Vemula Act” so that children without any children must face Br br ambedkar, Rohit Vemula and of the Littille of the White to nation to ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne gen ne ne ne gen ne ne gen ne ne gen ne ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne gen ne
Rohith Vemula, a Dalit student and PhD scholar at the University of Hyderabad, committed suicide due to discrimination based on caste.
“I have written a letter to Siddaramaiah ji and requested the implementation of the ‘Rohith Vemula Act’ in Karnataka. No children in India should face the sufferings suffered by Babasaheb Ambedkar, Rohith Vemula, Rohith Vemula and tens of millions of people.”
