HYDERABAD:
Members of the Students Federation of India took out an impressive rally in the city on Thursday to mark the inauguration of the 12th All-India SFI conference being organised for the first time here.
Members of the SFI from various colleges and universities in different parts of the country started assembling at Indira Park right from the morning. Slogans in favour of the SFI and against the continuing efforts to commercialise education rent the air as the rally passed through the 3-km stretch between Indira Park and Nizam College, the venue of the public meeting addressed, among others, by West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya and CPI (M) Polit Bureau member Sitaram Yechury.
There was, however, minor trouble when the police stopped the rally for a while at the Himayatnagar junction to allow the vehicles to move.
Angered over the delay in allowing the rally, the SFI members led by the CPI (M) State secretariat member and former SFI all-India president Y. Venkateswara Rao squatted on the road demanding that the police allow the rally to proceed.
The situation eased out immediately as the police allowed the rally to pass through.
