Hyderabad/New Delhi: The political slugfest over the Rohith Vemula&rsquo;s suicide continued unabated, with Congress and other opposition parties yesterday calling it a &lsquo;national shame&rsquo; and unrelenting in their demand for sacking of Union ministers Smriti Irani and Bandaru Dattatreya.

The BJP on its part hit back at the opposition parties on their criticism of the Modi government over the incident, claiming they were using the &lsquo;opportunity for cheap political advantage&rsquo; while its ally LJP sought an &lsquo;independent probe&rsquo; by CBI or some other agency.
&ldquo;We demand that Union Minister Smriti Irani should be sacked for attempting to hide facts along with Union Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya, against whom an FIR has been lodged,&rdquo; Congress chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala told reporters in Delhi.
Insisting that Irani &lsquo;justified the unfairness&rsquo; meted out to Rohith Vemula, who committed suicide, and four other suspended Dalit students, Surjewala said, &ldquo;She is the custodian of all universities. She committed the unpardonable sin of lying to the nation. She spoke a number of lies to cover up a lie.&rdquo;
