Bowing to the students’ demand, the Aligarh Muslim University on Tuesday decided to restore the students’ union on the campus and announced that the election process will begin on January 26, 2011. The students, however, decided to continue with their agitation insisting the elections be held next month.
AMU spokesperson Dr Rahat Abrar said a committee, formed under retired IAS officer Moosa Raza, will submit a report outlining the details of the elections.
Student leader Mushtaq Ahmed said, “The university, in the past, finished the election process by October 17, the birthday of AMU founder Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. We will continue our agitation until the university agrees to hold the elections next month.”
Over 150 students have been staging a dharna on the campus since October 4 to press for restoration of the students’ union.
