Hyderabad scholar death: Students write postcard protests to President

Hyderabad: “Postcard to president” is the new protest trend of University of Hyderabad students to attract the attention of President Pranab Mukherjee on the Rohith Vemula suicide issue.

The students put up posters with the Presid-ent’s office address and are distributing postcards requesting students to express their grievances and opinions related to Vemula’s death.

Hundreds of such postcards will reach the President next week.

“Let the President know our demands. We will post the cards on Monday, and they would reach him in three or four days,” said one of the students.

The JAC has bought over a thousand postcards and has placed a box to collect the written letters. “Hundreds of students have already written on these cards. Hope this will make a difference,” said a JAC member.

The students have also planned to meet the President to express their grievances as the central government has not responded to their demands positively.
