  • 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.
