‘VEMULA’S SUICIDE NOTE MADE ME CRY’

BJP MP Varun Gandhi on Tuesday recalled how he broke down after reading a suicide letter written by the Hyderabad University PhD scholar Rohit Vemula before he hanged himself in 2016. “Rohit wrote that he was taking the extreme step because he had committed the sin of taking birth in such form. This line pained my heart immensely,” Varun said. He was delivering a lecture organised by a private school here.
