Thiruvananthapuram: Radhika Vemula, the mother of Rohith Vemula, called for political unity among Muslims, backward communities and Dalits and said she would continue fighting to ensure justice for her son’s death.
Radhika was speaking to IUML mouthpiece Chandrika along with her younger son Raju Vemula, during a visit to Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday to attend the valedictory session of the Kerala Yatra, led by IUML leader P K Kunhalikkutty.
Radhika also wanted a legislation to ensure that no one in the country faces the same fate as that of her son.
“Several leaders have visited and consoled us. But there was no such response from the Prime Minister,” Radhika said.
“We want justice. The persons responsible for Rohith’s death should be brought to justice. We do not want to name any persons — but you all know who they are,” she added.
Raju Vemula, an MSc student, said they along with the Joint Action Committee for Social Justice (University of Hyderabad) would undertake a three-day ‘Delhi Chalo’ programme and a march to Parliament later this month in order to ensure justice for his brother.
He went on to say that a campaign was going in campuses in Andhra Pradesh and Telengana for getting justice to Rohith Vemula.
Minister for Social Justice M K Muneer and Minister for Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Tribes A. P. Anil Kumar also met Radhika Vemula and offered all support in her battle for justice.
