Dalit Suicide: Kejriwal asks Modi to apologise to the nation
Kejriwal, a sharp critic of the Prime Minister, took to Twitter to vent his anger.
The Delhi CM said that the incumbent government at the centre has failed its people and wrote: "Modi govt constitutionally duty bound to uplift dalits. Instead Modi ji's ministers got five dalit students ostracised n suspended."
Demanding an apology from the Prime Minister, Kejriwal wrote: "It's not suicide. It's murder. It's murder of democracy, social justice n equality.Modi ji shd sack ministers n aplogoize to the nation."
It all happened when Rohith, a 26-year-old doctorate student, was found hanging in a hostel room. "No one is responsible for my act of killing myself," he wrote in a suicide note.
Five students, all members of the Ambedkar union, had been accused of attacking an activist of the BJP's student wing, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) in August, allegedly during a protest against the execution of 1993 Bombay blasts convict Yakub Memon.
The university cleared them in an initial inquiry, but reversed its decision in December and took action against the five scholars, that led to one committing a suicide.
