As the debate over Hyderabad student Rohith Vemula’s suicide in Rajya Sabha boils, the Punjab wing of the Bahujan Samaj Party on Sunday launched a broadside against HRD minister Smriti Irani’s apology over the issue.

BSP, national general secretary Narender Kashyap questioned Irani’s that their party chief Mayawati is not satisfied with her answer over Rohith’s suicide case and now minister has to decide to give her head or apology?

On the day of the session during debate on Rohith Vemula’s suicide case in Rajya Sabha, Smriti Irani, had asked Mayawati that “If you are not satisfied with my answer, I will cut my head and put it in your feet”and now has expressed her dissatisfaction over her answer and BSP is pointing out at HRD minister.

While addressing a press conference at Circuit House on Sunday, BSP National general secretary Narender Kashyap said, “The university authorities and union minister had harassed Rohith and after that he had to commit suicide. Mayawati raised this issue in Rajya Sabha and claimed that there was no schedule Caste member in the judicial committee probing the suicide. But Smriti Irani had asked that there was a SC member in the committee and if Mayawati was not satisfied with her answer, she would cut her head and put it in her feet. Now I asked the minister when Mayawati is not satisfied with her answer what she will do or apologise over the issue.”

“The minister misled parliament because there was no SC member in the judicial committee and no action had been taken in the case,”he added.
