Hyderabad, March 26 (IANS) Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Saturday announced that he will take up with Prime Minister Narendra Modi the demand for recall of University of Hyderabad Vice Chancellor P. Appa Rao.
He announced this in assembly while replying to debate on the unrest in the central university in the wake of Appa Rao resuming charge as the vice chancellor.
