Another JAC member Sannaki Munna says, “She should have been sacked, not shifted. Just because BJP wants Dalit votes in Uttar Pradesh, they shifted her from HRD. Prakash Javadekar is a strong RSS follower, so we don’t expect him to support Dalits. Ambedkar statue was removed from Velivada. If Ambedkar is not safe in the university, how can Dalits be safe in the country? If our demands are not fulfilled we will discontinue our education and campaign against BJP in Uttar Pradesh.”
Dontha Prashanth said that in June, Smriti had taunted them and said their struggle was not a T20 match. “There is no joy in Smriti Irani being shifted out, as we had demanded that she be sacked. Ours is a prolonged struggle and we will continue it until all the culprits behind Rohith Vemula's death are arrested and in jail. VC Appa Rao is taking advantage of the holidays, so we will intensify our struggle once the University reopens.”
