Dear Aligs,
Assalam-o-Alaikum
I thank the Vice-Chancellor Prof P. K. Abdul Azis for the sensible step he has taken by reinststating all the suspended students back on the university rolls. It is stated that innocent & meritorious students, in the past few years, have regularly faced acts of discrimination & false and faulty implications from the various offices of AMU, which spoils their academic career for no genuine reason and without proper reviewing of their cases. The recent act of outburst & dissent from the side of the general students after the untimely death of our beloved brother Mr. (Late) Shahnawaz Alam, was the result of such systematic oppression from the side of the AMU administration. The month long agitation by the students of Aligarh Muslim University was not against some individuals only, but against an insensitive system where some become its symbol.
The Vice-Chancellor Prof P. K. Abdul Azis has always been very sensitive & thoroughly concerned about the welfare of the students’ community; but few people from amongst his administrative machinery have always been misguiding him to act in a way, which does not suit his post and caliber. The students never had any personal vengeance against the Vice-Chancellor. It is therefore requested from the authorities, as a need of the hour, to look into such cases impartially and without any sense of prejudice & discrimination, in order to safeguard the careers of the general students in future.
The Aligarh Muslim University Students’ Struggle Committee members on behalf of the entire Students’ Fraternity, from the core of their heart wish to convey heartfelt gratitude to the Hon’ble & beloved Vice- Chancellor Prof P. K. Abdul Azis for showing his magnanimity in dealing with the agitating students by taking the suspended students back on the rolls of the university. Besides, our thanksgiving would be incomplete without mentioning the name of Prof. Z. U. Khairuwala, who has been so very instrumental in bridging up the huge gap between students and the Vice- Chancellor that existed till a few days ago. Because of his intervention & persuasion, the agitating students called-off their month-long Dharna at Jantar Mantar on November 26, 2009. We would also like to thank Mr. Ali Anwar Ansari, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha for showing his keenest interest in the case. We would also like express our deep sense of gratitude to Dr. Waseem Ali, Faculty of Law, AMU & Dr. Shameem, Dept. of Adult Education for showing their kind concern to get the issue resolved so nicely.
Students faced all the troubles to go against the Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor, took extreme steps to shake his roots & dislodge him from his chair; but we assure him that if he treats students with love and affection & take bold steps to solve their genuine & legitimate problems time to time, keep an eye on the abuse of power by certain university officials and allow students the democratic space they deserve in a place like Aligarh Muslim University, the entire Students’ Fraternity would stand by him & face all the onslaught against him at the forefront to protect him. Students are indeed emotional; they can be hostile for any simple ill treatment & can be melting at the same time if one showers love, care & affection.
The Hon’ble Registrar has proclaimed that the AMU authorities have taken back the fines imposed on the students during the previous month, and for this great step the AMU administration deserves all the praises for such reconciliatory approach to improve & garner relationship with the students. The idea of putting electric points for Heaters & Irons (Electric Press) in all the residential halls in the recent times by the Hon’ble Vice- Chancellor is a real intelligent decision, which at least allows students to have some refreshment anytime legally from now on and it must be appreciated. In future, we expect such intelligent solutions from him for other problems as well.
The Hon'ble Vice- Chancellor has already pronounced the appointment of a High Level Committee to examine the modalities of operationalising the Lyngdoh Committee Report. The Committee will be asked to submit its report within three months. It is hereby requested from the Vice- Chancellor to make it possible to reduce the time limit from three months to one month, so that everything is put back on the tracks without further loss of time.
