Trouble over BJP event within AMU campus

Aligarh, Nov 28 (IBNS): The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) wrote to Union education minister Smriti Irani warning of a potential "communal conflagration" in the campus over an event planned by local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists on Monday, media reports said.
AMU vice-chancellor Lt Gen Zameer Uddin Shah opposed the local BJP unit’s plan to mark the birth anniversary of Jat leader and freedom fighter Raja Mahendra Pratap within the campus on December 1.
 
Sources said that Shah wrote that the celebrations have “potential of leading to massive student unrest on the AMU campus… The majority of AMU students are annoyed with this intransigence.”
 
He also met leaders of the BJP and its student wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) in an attempt to defuse the situation.
 
Shah had requested the BJP activists to shift its celebrations to a patch of land near the campus. But the party activists insisted on a venue within the AMU campus.
 
Expressing deep concern over the issue, the vice-chancellor said that a rival political party had also announced that they would not allow the event to take place within the campus triggering speculations of a confrontation.
 
However, the BJP accused the university authorities of ignoring the contributions of Raja Mahendra Pratap - an alumnus who donated land to AMU.
