AGARTALA, Aug 17 (TIWN): Hyderabad student Rohit Vemula's labeling as a "Dalit" was a post-suicide politics by CPI-M with sole aim to politicize the issue with sensitivity. CPI-M leaders from Prakash Karat to Manik Sarkar wasted no time in capitalizing on 'Dalit' politics to glorify anti-nationalism. Will now Manik Sarkar and Sitaram yechury beg mercy for burning Hyderabad University campus as Rohit was not a DALIT at all ? Neither Vemula was a Dalit nor he died due to political clash, but the youth who was all alone, neglected since childhood although had a mother. Tripura Manik Sarkar was often criticized in his state for being over sympathetic towards Hyderabad students whereas he has ‘No Time’ for own state’s issues. University of Hyderabad student Rohith Vemula committed suicide of his own volition and the varsity's act of expelling him and four other students from the hostel did not become a trigger for him to end his life, an inquiry commission has said. The report also states that Vemula was not a Dalit by caste.

The case gained prominence as a "Dalit" issue as protests, mainly organised by Left groups, said that Vemula was a victim of oppression unleashed by the university and BJP leaders. Yechury, Manik, Rahul Gandhi, Kejriwal all played their best to prove his suicide a ‘Dalit-killing’ by BJPs. 

The report, that was made public on Tuesday, said Vemula was a troubled individual and was unhappy for several reasons. "His suicide note is on the record which shows that Rohith Vemula had his own problems and was not happy with worldly affairs," the report said. "He was frustrated for the reasons best known to him...He also wrote that he was all alone from childhood and was an unappreciated man. This also indicates his frustration. He did not blame anybody for his suicide," said the report of the one-man judicial commission under former Allahabad high court judge Justice A K Roopanwal, set up by the HRD ministry.

The Central government is of the view that no action is required against anyone in the Rohith Vemula suicide case, as the Justice AK Roopanwal Commission report on the incident has concluded that no one was responsible for the death of the University of Hyderabad (UoH)research scholar.

In its action-taken report on the Justice Roopanwal Commission report – tabled in Parliament as the monsoon session ended – the Human Resource Development Ministry said, “No action required, as the Commission is of the view that there is no evidence of any fact or circumstance available on the record which dragged Shri Vemula to commit suicide and no one is responsible for his death.”

After the deposition of multiple stakeholders, the commission said in the report, “My view... is that the suicide did not relate to any activities of the university administration or political leaders. It was wholly a decision of his own. His suicide note... shows that Rohith Vemula had his own problems and was not happy with worldly affairs. He was feeling frustrated for reasons best known to him.”

Justice Roopanwal also said that the evidence on record indicated that Vemula belonged to the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category rather than being a Scheduled Caste.

The action-taken report, however, says that it will implement the recommendations of the commission on steps to be taken to ensure such incidents do not happen in future.

Its recommendations include: the university should evolve a mechanism where students can appeal in case there is an excess in the university; counselling centres with professionally trained counsellors should be set up; monitoring committees headed by supervisors be set up to provide guidance on matters related to subjects studied by students; equal opportunity cells headed by anti-discrimination officers be made functional, etc.

The action-taken report says: “Agreed. The University Grants Commission has been requested to issue suitable instructions/guidelines to all the central universities, including University of Hyderabad.”

TIWN on 2017’s May 14 had published, Rohit Vemula's emerging as a "Dalit" was a post-suicide status given to him. As per Wikipedia, Vemula : On 3 August 2015 Rohith Vemula and four other ASA-activists demonstrated against the death penalty for Yakub Memon, a convicted terrorist involved in the 1993 Bombay bombings and condemned the ABVP attack on the screening of the documentary Muzaffarnagar Baaqi Hai in Delhi University......in response ABVP's local leader Nandanam Susheel Kumar called them "goons," where-after Kumar was confronted in his hostel room".

 Opposition raised question on Manik Sarkar's 'sympathy' for Hyderabad Dalit student Rohit Vemula's case but silence over Tripura girl Anuara's killing. 

Other than hogging national limelight, Manik’s goal was generating publicity which CM felt not achievable in his own state’s daughter’s Anuara’s murder. So Chief Minister avoided even conveying any sympathy or meeting grieving friends at Agartala who sat in Post Office Chowmuhani all night  for Anuara's justice.
