The Bharat Rashtra Samithi Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR) on Sunday condemned the decision to ban protests at Osmania University, calling it a "direct attack on democracy." Attacking the State's ruling Telangana Congress government, the BRS leader questioned whether this was the "spirit of democracy" that Lok Sabha Leader of  democratic right of protest that Rahul Gandhi and the Congress claimed to uphold? If Congress truly believed in democracy, why is it resorting to authoritarian measures to silence student voices?" KTR asked. Slamming the Congress' double standards, KTR reminded the public that the party, during its election campaign, had promised the right to protest as part of its 'Seventh Guarantee."
In an internal document, Osmania University has prohibited agitations, dharnas and demonstrations within its departments, colleges, centres, and administrative buildings. The University authorities said they have viewed the matter seriously and decided to prohibit trespassing, staging dharnas and agitations, raising slogans etc in the premises of the Departments/Colleges / Centres / Administrative Building of the varsity. The University has also prohibited preventing administrative authorities and staff from discharging their official duties and using "unparliamentary and filthy language" against University staff and authorities.

The varsity also said that stakeholders (i.e., Students on rolls) with a genuine grievance in the University system, if any, may first approach the concerned Official at the institution level, and thereafter may represent to the Registrar and the authorities, with prior permission.
