While Telangana issue is not ready to clam down the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) too has joined the demand for Telangana. Students belong to the Telangana area have formed a ‘JNU Forum for Telangana’ (JNUFT).

The forum has already submitted a memorandum to K. Rosaiah, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. The JNUFT, claims backing of teachers and students of Delhi University, IGNOU and JNU including JNU Stuedents’ Union (JNUSU), is also planning to submit a memorandum to the Home Ministry in this regard.
Sunitha Eluri, a member of JNUFT, told fachcha.com that students of Osmania University and other universities protesting in support of the Telangana states are being booked under non-bailable cases. “We demand to immediately withdraw such cases against them through this forum”, she says. According to her police resorted to lathi charge and using rubber bullets in University campuses. Several students were arrested and Police forces are claiming they arrested the students as a preventive mechanism. This attitude of the state government is yet another example of discrimination towards people of Telangana, she says adding that JNUFT strongly condemns such acts.
