‘Overrech’: Indian-origin Megha Vemuri reacted to MIT’s ban from the program starting for Pro-P-Filistine speech

MIT 2025 class president Megha Vemuri strongly reacted to the administration’s decision to ban it from the rest of the programs starting on Friday and said the institute’s decision was an overrech. Boston Globe reported that Vemuri of Indian origin responded to the email of MIT Chancellor Melissa Nobles, which informed her and her family about the ban on her and her family, and disputed that she had a protest from the speech stage. In its mail, the Nobels stated that MIT has accepted the right to free expression, but the decision to “protest from the state” of Vemuri was a violation of rules, location and manner rules, which were rules for the expression of the campus. Vemuri was scheduled for Friday’s events, but after Thursday’s speech where he slammed MIT for his Israeli relations, he was not allowed in the event. This led to protests in the event on Friday. The MIT clarified that Vemuri gave a separate speech to the authorities and destroyed the administration when he made his allegation against MIT, expressing solidarity for Palestine.

What did Vemuri say in her controversial speech

Vemuri praised his classmates from the stage and told them “You showed the world that MIT wants a free Palestine”. “You called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and you stood in solidarity with the Palestinian workers on the campus. You had to face the dangers, threats and repression coming from all directions, especially your own university officials, but you reinforced because the MIT community knows that I will never tolerate a massacre.”“Now, when we prepare to graduate and move forward with our life, there is no university left in Gaza. Seeing that Israel is trying to wipe Palestine from the Earth’s face, and it is a shame that MIT is a part of it. ,“This means that Israel’s attack on Palestinian people has not only been assisted and abolished by our country, but our school. As scientists, engineers, academics and leaders, we have a commitment to support life, support help, and call for a weapon, and keep demanding, and keep on demanding, now, said, said,” said Vamuri.

Online trolling of cloud Vemuri from Indian commentators

Maga’s commentator was in weapons against Vemuri as Magin Kelly called her speech “selfish, self-invasive, humiliating and rude”. Kelly wrote, “So this woman kidnaps MIT graduation to talk about her personal beliefs about Israel, any kind of insult to Jewish students or others. Indian commentators questioned why he wore a kefih in solidarity with Palestine – as a Hindu and why he did not speak about ‘Hindu being tortured in Bangladesh’.
