AMU V-C for judicial probe into violence

Aligarh Muslim University Vice-Chancellor Tariq Mansoor on Tuesday endorsed the students’ demand for a judicial inquiry and appealed to the protesting students to maintain calm and to focus on studies.

“Under no circumstances, students should let their studies suffer, especially at a time when exams are round the corner. I appeal to all students to maintain calm and focus on studies wholeheartedly and to do well in career,” said Prof. Mansoor.

Hundreds of AMU students continue to protest against the Aligarh police administration for its alleged “inaction against the vandalism and violation of law” by the members of Hindu Yuva Vahini, Hindu Jagaran Manch and ABVP. They have been demanding arrest of Hindu Jagaran Manch activists who allegedly forcibly entered the university and vandalised the university and breached the security of former Vice-President Hamid Ansari.

“We should not fall into the trap of some forces, which are bent on destroying the image of our alma mater and are playing with your bright future,” the V-C said.
