Chennai: While extending its support to the demand for a separate Telangana state out of Andhra Pradesh, the Tamil Nadu based Muslim Students Federation has condemned the Andhra and Central Governments for not taking seriously the suicides by agitating students at Osmania University in Hyderabad.
“It is disappointing on the part of the central and Andhra Pradesh governments that they are silent on the suicide incidents at Osmania University. Recently a B.Tech. student Saikumar sacrificed his life for Telangana state, Within two months this is the fifth suicide incident in Osmania University,” said T K Shanvas, president, Muslim Students Federation. Postponing exams and closing institution for long period affects the entire students community affiliated to that institution, he added.
“There is nothing wrong in the demands of students community. For the administrative convenience there can be one or two states. It was due to the life sacrifice of Srimalalu that now state of Andhra Pradesh is here before us. Now students demand one more state out of it for administrative convenience,” Shanvas said.
He appealed to the central and Andhra state government to interfere in this matter at the earliest and even send a delegation to the university to talk with the students community.
