Prime Minister Narendra Modi , who was in Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University in Lucknow as a chief guest on convocation, was disrupted by protesters, who were eventually escorted out.
Modi’s speech was disrupted when students started chanting anti-Modi slogans.
“Narendra Modi Murdabad,” students raised.
Meanwhile, Modi also broke his silence on the suicide of Dalit scholar in Hyderabad.
“When I received this news that a young man Rohith committed suicide, I thought about the condition of his parents,” said Modi.
Students are protesting Rohith’s suicide, demaning a probe into it. HRD Minister Smriti Irani said it was not a Dalit vs non-Dalit battle.
Modi hinted that these issues should not be politicised.
“There must have been reasons, politics is different. The truth that India lost her son,” said Modi.
