Violence at Osmania University, students begin fast

HYDERABAD: <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Osmania-University">Osmania University</a> turned a battleground on Monday in spite of a call for peaceful protest given by OU students' JAC members. While around 200 students started their indefinite hunger strike as planned in front of the historic Arts College building, around a thousand took to the campus roads shouting slogans and pelting stone at the police and paramilitary forces deployed at all the major entrances of the campus. The students have declared an educational bandh on July 13. 
 
The trouble started on OU campus at 10.30am when 50 students of <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Telangana">Telangana</a> Vidyarthi Aikya Vedika tried to take out a bike rally to Raj Bhavan and was stopped by the police at NCC Gate on Vidyanagar side of the campus. The arrival of Telangana advocates to join the hunger strike around the same time increased the tension. The stand off that ensued this at the NCC gate continued for five hours. 
 
Just one hour after the NCC violence, hundreds of students marched to the OU police station located near B-Hostel, demanding the release of advocates and students from other universities who were arrested on Monday morning for trying to enter the campus. The students claimed that police arrested thousands of their friends who wanted to join the hunger strike. With students barging into the police station several rounds of tear gas and stun grenades were fired by paramilitary forces who were stationed there. 
 
In the stand-off about 12 students and four police personnel suffered minor injuries. Among those arrested by the police are top ten OU-JAC leaders and leader of Telangana Advocates' forum Jyothi Kiran. Students' JAC leaders said that they will continue their strike till the central government initiated the process of state formation. "We are expecting more number of students to join us in the coming days. The central and state governments should understand will see hundreds of students die on OU campus if they do not initiate the new state formation," said Manne Krishank, OU-JAC spokesperson. 
 
Students said that arrested were made even before their counterparts from other districts could reach the campus. However, those who have gone on strike include students from Telangana University and Kakatiya University. The joint action committee members said that they had expected around 10,000 students to join them on the strike but with police arresting most of their friends, they couldn't match the figures. The students said that in the coming days they will conduct cultural festivals- Telangana Dhoom Dham on campus which will be attended by political JAC members including the resigned Telangana MLAs. "We will also conduct a Vanta Vaarpu" (cook and serve) on OU campus roads on Tuesday," said Tirumani Kondal, representative, OU-JAC. 
 
Osmania University police, said that they will have to arrest students from other campuses who are already participating in the hunger strike on OU campus. The police said that these students managed to get inside the campus about one week ago when police checks were not conducted outside the campus. The students' representatives, however, said that they will not leave the campus as it is their democratic right to protest.

Andhra new hub for Telangana students

HYDERABAD: They may be espousing the Telangana cause, but when it comes to the education of their wards, the champions of the separate state are not taking any chances. 
 
Conceding that the political uncertainty and unrest in the Telangana region triggered by the latest phase of the agitation for statehood by various political parties and groups will disrupt the academic schedule in the Telangana region, scores of parents are sending their children to Krishna and Guntur districts for intermediate education and <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/EAMCET">EAMCET</a> coaching. 
 
Principals of leading corporate residential colleges in Guntur and Vijayawada told TOI that there has been a 25% increase in the number of students from the Telangana region seeking admissions in their institutions. "More students from the Telangana region are seeking admission in our colleges.The trend is more visible in the engineering stream. Those students who are getting admission into engineering course in colleges in both the T region and Andhra region are opting for the latter as their first choice," said A Murali, principal of a junior college in Guntur belonging to the <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Sri-Chaitanya">Sri Chaitanya</a> Groups of Institutions. 
 
A <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Ravi-Prasad">Ravi Prasad</a>, principal of Narayana college in Vijayawada, also admitted that political uncertainty is contributing to the increasing migration of students from the Telangana region to institutions in the other two regions. 
 
"Many local parents were surprised to learn that the admissions got filled up so fast, and in view of the heightened regional tensions, many families from the Telangana region who have secured admission for their children here have urged us not to publicize the fact that they are outsiders," according to a source. 
 
Ironically, many parents from the Telangana region, who are sending their children to the other two regions for their studies are active participants of the separate state agitation.

I feel sorry for Suresh Kalmadi, he is innocent: Digvijay

PUNE: Congress general secretary <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Digvijay-Singh">Digvijay Singh</a> on Monday sympathised with scam-tainted party leaders -- MP <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Suresh-Kalmadi">Suresh Kalmadi</a> and former Maharashtra chief minister <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Ashok-Chavan">Ashok Chavan</a> saying he felt both of them were innocent. 
 
"We feel sorry for Suresh Kalmadi who is suffering hardships, and also for Ashok Chavan. In my personal opinion, both of them are innocent. But whenever any corruption charges are levelled, Soniaji has to take action," he said addressing party workers. 
 
Singh, who arrived in the city after visiting the famous Lord Vitthal temple at Pandharpur on the occasion of 'Ashadhi Ekadashi', said Congress had always fought corruption. 
 
It was because of the Right to Information Act brought by the Congress government that the recent scams, including those relating to the Adarsh Society, CWG and 2G spectrum, had come to light, he added. 
 
"Congress has not spared anybody and we have acted in all cases. On the other hand, BJP has not touched Karnataka chief minister B Yeddyurappa who is facing charges of corruption," Singh said. 
 
The Congress leader also felt that in the cases where the charge sheet had been filed and investigations were complete, the judiciary should consider granting bail to the accused. He, however, did not name anybody in this connection. 
 
Singh said Congress was proud of its leader Rahul Gandhi who had taken up cudgels in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to bring justice to the underprivileged with his "padayatra". 
 
He rubbished Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati's charge that Gandhi had avoided food offered to him at a Dalit home during his foot-march. 
 
"The concerned Dalit has himself denied this allegation," he added. 
 
Attacking RSS, he said Congress would continue its fight against "fascist ideology".
