She also dismissed HRD Minister Smriti Irani's claim that Chief warden was part of the inquiry committee.
"Letters that were forwarded from HRD Ministry indicated that students were branded as anti-national and extremists. I demand an explanation as to how my son became anti-national and extremist," she added.
Speaking at the same conference, Rohith's friend demanded action against Smriti Irani for making 'false statements'.
"We want to expose false words being propagated by minister Smriti Irani in Parliament. Why is no action being taken against Smriti Irani who is repeatedly giving false statements?" he asked.

"PM Modi said India has lost her son. I want to ask him, if India has lost her son, same son was branded as anti-national, same son was branded as extremist by your Cabinet Minister Bandaru Dattatreya, what action has PM Modi taken against him?"
