A view of the AMU protest. AGRA: A day after the AMU administration issued a show-cause notice to two of its students for taking out “Tiranga Yatra” inside the campus, one of the students on Thursday demanded inclusion of “Vande mataram” song and slogans of Bharat Mata ki jai in the Republic Day programme in the varsity.
An MTech student, Sonveer Singh, who had been issued notice for taking out Tiranga Yatra, wrote a letter to the Vice Chancellor, Prof Tariq Mansoor, demanding inclusion of Vande Mataram in the Republic Day programme.
Singh wrote another letter to the President of India with his blood regarding the notice issued to him by the administration for taking out Tiranga rally. The letter reads, “Is it a crime to take out Tiranaga rally in our country? The administration had not issued notice to those students who burnt copies of Constitution of India in protest against the amendment for 10 percent reservation”.
He urged the President of India to take cognisance of the matter in order to secure the students with nationalist ideology.
Earlier in the day, the two students replied to the show-cause notice and countered every issue raised by the AMU authorities. In his reply, Ajay Singh, grandson of BJP MLA, Dalveer Singh, wrote that the allegations and charges framed against them are false and unjust. He said that several programmes are organised in the university against the moral principles and ethics of the society and also violate the provisions of the university, but the administration has never reacted on them.
Singh claimed that no outsiders were involved in the rally. The rally on Tuesday was carried out from the Education Department to the Baba Syed Gate, in the memory of freedom fighters.
