Siddaramaiah vows Rohith Vemula Act to end campus bias

Bengaluru/New Delhi, Apr 18 (UNI) Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday announced that the state government will soon enact the Rohith Vemula Act, a landmark legislation aimed at eliminating discrimination on the basis of caste, class, or religion in educational institutions.
The announcement came in response to a passionate letter from Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, who called for urgent action to protect students from marginalised communities.
In a public statement, Siddaramaiah said, "Our Govt stands firm in its resolve to enact the Rohith Vemula Act in Karnataka — to ensure no student faces discrimination based on caste, class, or religion. We will bring this legislation at the earliest to honour the dreams of Rohith, Payal, Darshan, and countless others who deserved dignity, not exclusion."
