Rohith's letter implicates ASA, SFI leaders, ABVP alleges

Under attack over the alleged suicide of Rohith Vemula, ABVP today demanded a fresh inquiry and sought an FIR against ASA and SFI leaders claiming that certain lines of the suicide note implicating them were struck off.
"ABVP is demanding registration of FIR against SFI and Ambedkar Students' Association leaders because some parts of Rohith's suicide note are rubbed off. In the note, it is clearly mentioned that ASA, SFI exist for their own sake. Seldom the interest of a person and these organisations match," ABVP's national joint organising secretary G Lakshman said here.
"ABVP demands a thorough probe into the entire episode and disclosure of the FSL report on the suicide note. A high powered committee should be constituted and the culprits should be punished," he said.

Lakshman also said that Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, CPM leader Sitaram Yechury and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal were politicising the issue.
"They come from Delhi and go back. Don't do politics and target (Prime Minister) Modi. What you are going to achieve? At Aligarh Muslim University eight Dalits were killed and Rahul Gandhi never visited. Many North-East students were murdered in Delhi, but Kejriwal does not have time to visit them," the ABVP leader alleged.
"We are supporters of Dalits and have been fighting for the cause of Dalits and their uplift for long. We are ready for debate on Rohith's suicide," Lakshman added.

Vemula, who was found hanging in a hostel room on HCU campus last Sunday, was one of the five students against whom a case was lodged last year for allegedly assaulting the ABVP leader Susheel Kumar.
