The Rohith Vemula suicide and the Jawaharlal Nehru University row continues to dominate the discussions in Parliament on Day 4 of the Budget Session. The Congress has announced that it won't allow proceedings to continue till Union Human Resources Development Minister Smriti Irani apologises for her remarks.
Functioning for nearly the whole day after a long time, the Rajya Sabha on Thursday witnessed an intense debate on the recent incidents in JNU and Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula’s suicide, even as HRD Minister Smriti Irani’s reply was cut short due to protests which lead to its adjournment for the day.
