SC/ST students of Unani college allege bias

Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: Around 30 Scheduled Caste/Schedule Tribe students of
Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery (BUMS) at Nizamia Tibbi (Unani)
Medical College on Tuesday alleged discrimination and harassment by
certain members of faculty and students. Demanding protection from
such harassment and action against those involved in discrimination,
students and their parents threatened agitation and cases under SC/ST
Atrocities Act. Different dalit organisations too came in support of
the students who at a press meet today claimed that faculty members
were threatening to fail them in examinations and harassing as to why
they took admission in the course. "After government made provisions
of taking Urdu as a language to qualify for admission to the BUMS,
these students got admission but are being subjected to harassment,"
G. Shankar, Secretary-General, A.P. SC Sankshema Sangham.

If timely action was not initiated by the college authorities and
government, agitation would be launched soon, he said.
