Aligarh: Students of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) have threatened to launch a protest if no action is taken on a police complaint regarding life threatening attack on a student activist Md Perwez Siddiqui on December 31.
“Justice is his (Siddiqui’s) right. If your police and AMU administration fails (to take action), then we AMU students will be compelled to lodge a protest,” AMU students said in a letter to the Superintendent of Police, Aligarh on Friday.
Siddiqui, a student of M Com (previous) and also the president of the Sir Syed Minority Foundation of India, was brutally attacked after he stepped out of the examination hall that day in the AMU premises.
The main cause behind the incident, the students pointed out, was that some students walked out of the paper that day but Siddique opposed it and appeared at the exam. “A police complaint has been launched at the Civil Lines police station that same evening. It is very sad that we inform you that neither your police nor AMU administration has taken any action.”
“Siddiqui is worried if his life is safe within the AMU campus. He had been raising the issue time and again. He works for increasing to national level the minority character of the AMU. He has also been attacked twice earlier,” the letter said.
With no action visible, the students have threatened to lodge a protest agitation, but not specified any date.
