Aligarh, UP: Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) students’ union staged a demonstration against the killing of eight SIMI activists after a jail break in Bhopal and demanded a judicial probe into the matter.
In a memorandum to President Pranab Mukerjee, AMU students’ union demanded a Supreme Court-monitored judicial probe into the Bhopal encounter, an AMU office bearer said.
Anger had been brewing on the campus since the news broke out in the media on Monday but the authorities managed to prevent any public display of the mounting resentment in view of the annual convocation on Tuesday.
However, slogan-shouting students took out a procession yesterday which culminated into rally at the Sir Syed Gate.
Addressing the protestors, the students’ union President Faizul Hasan charged that ever since the NDA government came to power “Muslims were being wrongly targeted” .
