The Supreme Court has questioned the presence of paramilitary forces inside the Osmania University campus in Hyderabad.
The court on Thursday directed the Andhra Pradesh government to explain by Friday under whose instructions the forces were stationed inside the university campus. It was hearing an appeal from the state government challenging a High Court order that the forces vacate the campus.
The Chief Justice of India said: “Deploying paramilitary force inside the campus is disturbing.”
The Andhra Pradesh government told the court that there was daily violence inside the campus and the local police could not be deployed as the sensitive Telangana issue was involved.
It also told the court that law-and-order was a state problem and if the High Court wanted the forces to be out, then it (the high court) should run the administration.
The state government will now inform the court tomorrow on whose directions these forces are stationed inside the campus.
