Lucknow, Jan 22: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is accustomed to listening chants of ‘Modi Modi’ whenever he addresses a gathering be it in India or abroad. However, perhaps for the first time, he was confronted with opposition outside the Parliament when a group of students chanted ‘Modi murdabad’, ‘Modi go back’.

The incident occurred in Lucknow when Prime Minister Modi took to the dais to address students in the convocation ceremony of BR Ambedkar University.

As PM Modi started speaking, a group of students started chanting ‘Modi wapas jao’, ‘Modi go back’, ‘Modi haay haay, ‘Modi murdabad’. The security present there and some students of the university dragged the protesting students out of the hall. The protest was related to the suicide of Dalit student of Hyderabad University.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who spoke about the Dadri lynching after many days that led to Opposition slamming him for his silence, expressed his anguish at the untimely death of the student. The teary-eyed Modi said Mother India lost her son and he empathise with the mother who lost her son.

Following the national outrage over Rohith Vemula’s suicide, the executive council of the Hyderabad University revoked the expulsion of the remaining 4 Dalit scholars.

Five Dalit scholars were expelled from the hostel December. Rohith committed suicide.

Sontha Prasanth, Pepapudi Vijay Kumar, Sheshaiah Chemudugunta and Velpula Sunkanna were not allowed to use college amenities. Though they were allowed to attend the classes.

“The council after taking into account the extraordinary situation prevailing in the university, and after discussing the issue in detail, has resolved to terminate the punishment imposed on the students concerned with immediate effect,” a news paper quoted a council.

Bengaluru, Jan 15: Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Bengaluru has decided to remain shut for two days after a group of BJP workers wiped out graffiti on its outer walls claiming it as anti-Modi and allegedly warned them against any anti CAA agitation there.

According to sources, the group led by Yelahanka MLA S R Vishwanath allegedly even towed away some vehicles of students and faculty parked in front of the institute alleging that they were blocking the road and causing inconvenience to the local people.

Some students have alleged that they were threatened by BJP workers and also the institute's authorities regarding the graffiti and the blocking of the road using traffic police.

They even claimed that BJP workers warned them against organising any anti-NRC or CAA protests.

A few local residents are also said to have joined the BJP workers and raised complaints about the conduct of the institute's students.

According to local BJP workers, the MLA and a few party men had gone near the institute on receiving complaints from locals about vehicles parked there blocking the road, and when they came across the graffiti they painted it with saffron paint to avoid any controversy, and there was no altercation as being alleged.

However, there is no clarity on who drew the graffiti regarding Modi, which according to BJP workers allegedly depicted the PM in poor light.

The institute has declared holiday on Thursday and Friday to avoid any further escalation, keeping the interest and safety of students in mind, sources said.

Interestingly, on Tuesday graffiti had appeared overnight on the shutters of some shops and walls on the Church Street against Modi, CAA and NRC, following which the city police have launched an investigation.
