Mr Gandhi was expected to visit the Osmania University campus on May 7 for what the Congress has called a "non-political" interaction with the students.
A huge row has started over the proposed visit of Congress's Rahul Gandhi to Hyderabad's Osmania University. Mr Gandhi is due to visit Telangana on May 6 and 7 and was expected to address the students at Osmania university, among other programmes. The matter has now reached the court, with the students filing an appeal to get permission for Mr Gandhi's visit.
Mr Gandhi was expected to visit the campus on May 7 for what the Congress has called a "non-political" interaction with the students.
But the university authorities have reportedly said Mr Gandhi cannot be allowed as no political activity is allowed on campus.
The University authorities pointed out that after a High Court order in June 2017, the university had adopted a resolution not to allow non-academic activities on campus, including political activity.
