AMU suspends student for chanting Allah-hu-Akhbar during Republic Day Celebration in NCC uniform
The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has suspended student allegedly involved in the video that went viral showcasing them purportedly chanting 'Allah-hu-Akhbar' (God is great) during the Republic Day celebration. The major development came nearly 24 hours after a video in which NCC cadets of AMU were seen shouting religious slogans after the hoisting of the Tricolour on campus, outside Strachey Hall.
While speaking on the same, Aligarh SP, Kuldeep Singh Gunawat, said that "there was no other slogan regarding any other religion chanted as reported by some media organisations and added the university identified the accused student and suspended him. Till now we haven't received any complaint regarding that matter," he said.
On Thursday, the Proctor of Aligarh Muslim University, Wasim Ali, said an order was issued to investigate the matter. "Further action will be taken after investigation. The police have also gathered information about the incident," Ali added.
The AMU authorities on Friday suspended a BA first-year student, Wahiduzaman, from the rolls of the university over the video and declared the campus out of bounds for him on the basis of "prima facie" evidence.
Superintendent of Police, City, Kuldeep Singh Gunawat said a case under IPC sections 153B (remarks likely to cause disharmony, or feeling of enmity or hatred or ill-will) and 505 (mischief) was lodged against an unidentified NCC cadet based on a complaint filed by Yogesh Varshney. The AMU has set up a three-member panel to probe the incident after two video clips of slogan shouting surfaced on social media Thursday evening.
