Kanhaiya Kumar barred from entering Hyderabad Central University
"We will take this fight forward," Kumar told media.
Kumar met Rohith Vemula’s mother Radhika and his brother.
University authorities said the JNU leader was not granted a permission to hold a meeting in the campus.
Rohith Vemula, a Dalit student of Hyderabad Central University killed himself in January this year entailing protests and agitation that impacted the national politics.
Kanhaiya Kumar declared his plans to visit the university and make a speech on Wednesday.
Altogether 25 students have been arrested for damaging public property, illegally confining staff and attacking the police during violent protests on Tuesday. They include key leaders of the protests.
Tuesday's protests were directed at Vice Chancellor Appa Rao Podile, who returned to work on Tuesday ending the prolonged leave he went on following Rohith Vemula's death and furious protests.
Demanding that he be removed, students kept him hostage by surrounding his office-cum-residence for six hours. They vandalised his office and also attacked the media and threw stones at the police.
Jawaharlal Nehru University Student Union president Kanhaiya Kumar has said he will visit the Hyderabad university campus on Wednesday evening to meet the protesting students.
