Muslim Thinkers Forum, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, convener A. M. Khan Yazdani, said that a massive people’s movement can only halt privatisation of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP). He was speaking at a programme organised for students and youth organisations, here on Saturday.
He reminded the students about the steel plant agitation of 1960s and how students played a vital role in that. “The path has been laid and now the present generation has to follow it. Students and youth should take a cue from the Shaheen Bagh movement and farmers agitation and step up the ongoing protests,” he said.

The Centre for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy (CSSEIP), Andhra University, organised a one-day national webinar on “Religious Minorities: Identity, Social Exclusion and Inclusion” here on Saturday. Registrar V. Krishna Mohan, who attended the event as chief guest, inaugurated the programme. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Krishna Mohan said that discrimination and exclusion of any class of people were not desirable and they lead to underdevelopment of the nation. Social exclusion of people based on caste, religion, gender or ethnicity breaches human dignity and is against the spirit of universal brotherhood and equality, he added. Senior Advocate, District Court, Visakhapatnam, Jaha Aara, is among those who attended.
