Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union leader Kanhaiya Kumar has arrived at Hyderabad Central University to join pro-Rohith Vemula protests, but has not been allowed to speak.


Arriving in Hyderabad today, Kanhaiya said, "The JAC of University of Hyderabad has asked me to come to address a public meeting on the university campus, and that's why I am here."


"If I am allowed to enter the campus and speak, then I will address the gathering. If the police deny us permission I will speak outside the campus gate," said a determined Kanhaiya to reporters at the airport.


"The campus campaign is to ensure social justice. I will meet Rohith Vemula's mother and his brother and chalk out an action plan," he said.


As a tense standoff persisted on the UoH campus, Left party members who are overseeing the arrangements of Kanhaiya's meeting and movements, are mulling alternative plans if Kanhaiya's meeting plan is scuppered. One of the alternatives is a press conference, according to sources. While addressing the varsity students he said that has come there to show solidarity with the students.


"We will fight till Rohith Vemula does not get justice. We are fighting to save Constitution and democracy," said Kanhaiya."Government is not listening to the voice of students, we condemn the act of police against university students," added Kanhaiya.
