Aligarh Muslim University

The recent probe against the Vice-Chancellor (VC) P. K. Abdul Azis of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) by the Ministry of Human Resource Department (MHRD) to form a fact finding committee on AMU has created havoc in the university. The teachers' association wants a free and fair inquiry against the VC whereas the university officials insisted there is nothing to inquire about. The teachers' association has recently passed a resolution stating the VC to resign and also welcomed the HRD Ministry's decision to form a fact finding committee. However, the media advisor of Azis, N. A. K. Durrani said the action of the teachers' association has been manipulated. The ministry officials clarified that the fact finding committee will inquire about the functioning of AMU, which includes the allegations against the VC. The committee was setup after eight members of the Executive Council including Congress leader Wasim Ahmed submitted a 450-page memorandum alleging the VC has committed financial irregularities. AMU Teachers' Association Secretary Jamshed Siddiqui has alleged that the VCs' group has indulged into 'intimidatory tactics' by pressurizing teachers to support VCs' demand for not holding the committee.
