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, Jul 29: The Karnataka High Court’s division bench of Chief Justice Abhay Oka and Justice H P Sandesh today rejected an application that wanted Amulya Leona’s case to be transferred from Karnataka Police to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The bench, while observing that extraordinary jurisdiction can’t be exercised for transferring the case to the NIA, asked “What is so special that investigation should be transferred to NIA?”

The court, in its previous hearing, had questioned the maintainability of the petition seeking transfer of the sedition case against Leona to the NIA.

According to the petitioner, advocate Pavana Chandra Shetty, the case is a serious matter against national integration and unity and has not been investigated properly by the police. The state police also failed to file the chargesheet within 90 days, he said, and also asked for cancellation of her bail.

The bench asked the petitioner as to how a bail, already granted to a person, can be cancelled. “Is it not the indefeasible right of the accused to be released on bail if chargesheet is not filed within stipulated time? How can you make a prayer for cancellation of bail?”  the Court asked.

The counsel for the petitioner also stated that in cases of a cognizable offence, when the chargesheet is purposely not filed within the stipulated time, the matter will have to transferred to the appropriate authority.

The court responded to his contention by asking him how could the court override law and cancel the bail. “Where is the question of cancellation of bail? Can we override the law and say that bail should be cancelled?” said the bench.

Advocate Vishal Raghu had filed the petition for transfer of Leona’s case, who was accused of raising pro-Pakistan slogans at an anti-CAA rally on February 20 at Freedom Park. The advocate had blamed the probe team for not filing a chargesheet on time and has asked the state government to approach the higher court against bail granted to Leona.

Bengaluru student Amulya Leona was charged with sedition for her actions in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi. She was arrested by the Bengaluru police for allegedly shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at an anti- CAA Protest in Bengaluru in February this year. On June 11, she was granted conditional bail by the Bengaluru civil court.

Her bail plea was earlier rejected by a Bengaluru court, after she had spent a three-month period in jail, stating that she may abscond if she is released. The sessions judge Vidhyadhar Shirahatti had also stated that if the petitioner is granted bail, she may abscond and may involve in similar offence which affects peace at large and hence her petition is liable to be rejected. The court had also noted that Amulya Leona is an influential person who may threaten and influence the witness and hamper the case in case of the prosecution and will abscond if released on bail.
