ALIGARH: Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) students on Tuesday staged an indefinite dharna demanding removal of some top university officials who they allege were "crushing" their democratic rights.
The students numbering around one hundred have threatened to turn the dharna into an indefinite hunger strike if their demands were not meet within the next twenty-four hours
The students, who are protesting in front of Vice- Chancellor Lodge, are also demanding restoration of the AMU Students Union which has been lying defunct since the past several years.
They demanded removal of some top university officials who were allegedly "masterminding in terrorising and crushing democratic rights" of AMU students whenever voices are raised against intimidating tactics of university authorities.
Several students have been expelled and barred from the campus since the past few months, they claimed.
When contacted, AMU spokesperson Rahat Abrar said "The University is ready to discuss all genuine demands of the protesters provided they are raised in a peaceful manner."
