On Monday, a delegation of activists met district magistrate and submitted their demand to set up a Special Investigation Team to look for Najeeb Ahmed, the JNU student who has been missing for the past two months.
In a three-page memorandum, they said, “We are seriously concerned over the disappearance of Najeeb and the entire episode raises a serious question on the role of police, which remains clueless.”
“For the past few days, unwanted incidents are happening in the universities of India and political interference is also increasing in educational institutions which can be harmful to the secular fabric of India. It should be stopped,” they added.
The memorandum also appealed that the special minority status of Aligarh Muslim University is also under consideration for amendment and the current status of the AMU should not be comprised.
The delegation consisted of nearly 20 members of different organisations and students, including Ram Gaikwad, Prashant, Shafiq Qazi , Samiullah Sheikh, Shaikh Nizamuddin, Hasib Nadaf etc.
President of Solapur Maratha Seva Sangh told Twocircles.net, “University should be a centre of education only but unfortunately these are becoming centres of religion and harming the secular image of the nation. One specific class is trying to dominate the education sector and this may cause loss to the communal harmony of the country.
Shaikh Nizamuddin said, “It is really unfortunate that one student is missing from the campus of the India’s topmost university. Fascist forces are also in full swing these days, which doesn’t suit the culture of our country.”
