    AMU yet to take decision on removal of Jinnah's portrait

    AMU yet to take decision on removal of Jinnah's portrait

    The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) in Uttar Pradesh is yet to take a decision on removing a portrait of Muhammad Ali Jinnah from the office of its students' union, an issue that had triggered a controversy in May. The information was shared by Satya Pal Singh, the Minister of State for HRD, in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha.

    Decision can be taken only by newly-elected union: Singh

    "The students' union has been dissolved and any decision on the issue can only be taken by the newly-elected union when formed," Singh said. BJP MP from Aligarh Satish Gautam had objected to the portrait of the founder of Pakistan on the walls of the AMU students' union office and written to the Vice-Chancellor of the university, seeking its removal.

    AMU campus saw protests, violence over the portrait in May

    Violence had broken out on the AMU campus on May 2 as the row over the portrait triggered a right-wing protest and sparring between two leaders of the BJP. At least six people were injured when the police lobbed teargas shells to disperse the AMU students demanding the arrest of those who had earlier barged into the campus shouting slogans.

    Function to grant Hamid Ansari life membership was called-off

    A function to grant life membership of the students' union to former Vice-President Hamid Ansari, scheduled on the same day (May 2), was called off and Ansari had to return to Delhi.
