Telangana: NSUI calls for educational bandh on September 27

HYDERABAD: The National Students Union of India (NSUI) has called for a bandh of educational institutions in Telangana, coinciding with Bharat bandh, on September 27 against the ‘anti-farmer’ and ‘anti-people’ policies of the BJP and TRS governments at the Centre and in the state respectively.
NSUI state president Balmoori Venkat also demanded that the government withdraw its decision to conduct exams for Intermediate first year students of 2020-21 batch and promote them with a minimum of 60 per cent marks.
A delegation of NSUI state unit led by Venkat on Saturday submitted a memorandum to Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education (TSBIE) secretary Syed Omer Jaleel seeking immediate withdrawal of Intermediate examination schedule, which was released on Friday.
Later, Venkat told mediapersons that the government had earlier promised to promote these students.
If the government fails to withdraw examination schedule, NSUI state unit will launch statewide agitations for the cause of students, added Venkat.
