Earlier, he wrote a letter to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah demanding the implementation of the ‘Rohit Vemula Act’.
After meeting Dalit, Adivasi and OBC students in the past, Rahul Gandhi wrote on the social media platform X, “Recently I met Dalit, Adivasi and OBC community students and teachers in Parliament. During the conversation, he told how he has to face discrimination on the basis of caste in colleges and universities. Baba Saheb Ambedkar had shown that education is the only means, from which the deprived can also become strong and break caste discrimination. But, it is very unfortunate that even after decades, millions of students are facing caste discrimination in our education system.
