When the University Administrations Turn Into Spies….Ĭlearly, the AMU administration is going to unprecedented levels to victimise protesting students, in the hope of clamping down the growing resistance to its corruption. Obviously, then it was impossible for him to go around the AMU campus collecting signatures and posting letters!
At the time when the letter was allegedly posted, Afaq was admitted in the University Health Centre, where he had been quarantined for chicken pox. Interestingly, this letter which Afaq had allegedly sent had the signatures of several other students, and was posted from outside the AMU campus. When the students’ protests increased, the AMU administration suspended Afaq on the false pretext that a letter had been sent by him to the AMU VC ‘threatening’ to break all the CCTVs in the campus if his hostel facilities were not restored immediately. The AMU administration, continuing with its anti-student and draconian track record, responded by issuing 20 more show cause notices against those who conducted the signature campaign – making its intensions even more clear.

Their corruption had been clearly exposed, and students from other hostels too began demanding permission from the administration for running their own messes. This created enormous pressure on the AMU administration. Subsequently, they received permission and under the charge of the students themselves, the quality of food improved dramatically. The students of one hostel (VM Hall) appealed to the AMU administration for permission to take charge of the mess for one month to set an example before them about its functioning. Not only had the quality of food deteriorated the mess charges had also steeply increased by Rs 250 per month per student.
