Osmania University tense after student suicide

[satish12]

A student has committed suicide by setting himself on fire at Osmania University. The student wanted to show his support for a separate state of Telangana. Other students there are livid now, and are refusing to release the dead body.

Osmania has been the epicentre of the pro-Telangana movement. Student groups are supporting K Chandrasekhar Rao, or KCR, and other parties demanding a separate Telangana state.

In December, the Union government announced that it was sanctioning this new state. A giant backlash in Andhra Pradesh followed, with MLAs from non-Telangana regions resigning in protest. Parties that had originally pledged support to a Telangana state changed their minds. This includes Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Chiranjeevi's Praja Rajyam Party (PRP). Caught off-guard, the Union government then announced that the formation of a new state was on hold; it stressed the importance of political consensus on the issue.

Pro-Telangana leaders like KCR have warned the Centre that they need proof of a schedule that will lead to the formation of a new state.
