Protests erupt across Telangana over paper leak

Anguished parents and agitated students took to streets for the second day on Friday protesting the leakage of Eamcet-II question paper and appealing to the Government not to cancel it.

Be it Hyderabad or any other part of the State, parents and students supported by various students organisations came out and protested what they termed ‘irreparable’ loss to the students, who had done well in the entrance examination.

In Hyderabad, parents and students, who gathered at Dharna Chowk in Indira Park, were in for shock when the police prevented them from staging a demonstration. Police lifted and whisked away the protesters to Gandhinagar and Musheerabad police stations. Elsewhere in the city, students organisations like Telugunadu Students Federation protested outside Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University.

In an interesting development in Nalgonda town, parents and students of Eamcet -II marched to the residence of Tirumal Rao, one of the accused in the question paper leakage and staged a protest demonstration.

About 15 activists of the ABVP staged a demonstration at NTR Chowk while activists of Students Federation of India and Telangana Vidyarthi Vedika burnt an effigy of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao in front of the bus stand. In Khammam, activists of the All India Students Federation (AISF) set afire an ‘effigy’ of the State Government at the R&B Guesthouse. They raised slogans demanding stringent action against the colleges allegedly linked to the scam.

In Karimnagar, parents along with their children assembled at the Telangana Chowk in the town and staged dharna. Later, they went in a procession to the Collectorate and again staged dharna raising slogans demanding the government to punish the culprits and not to victimise other students.
