Two Samajwadi Party (SP) MPs have written separate letters to President Droupadi Murmu expressing concern over the “unusual delay” in the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor (V-C) for the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), adding that it was leading to “policy paralysis” in the prestigious Central university.
Javid Ali Khan, Rajya Sabha member from the SP, who wrote the letter, told The Hindu on Wednesday that the delay hinted at “ulterior motives” as minority educational institutions and minority education had continuously been damaged in the last few years.
