علی گڑھ مسلم یونیورسٹی: انکوائری کی حقیقت

Complainants are themselves under Scanner

By Syyed Mansoor Agha

The two members Facts Finding Committee reached A.M.U. Aligarh on 20th August 2009 and started the process of probe into 'the allegations against the Vice Chancellor as also the counter allegations made against the complainants' with the assurance of complete transparency and impartiality. Mr. Justice Fakhruddin (Retired), Judge of the High Court of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh is the Chairman and Mr. A.H. Jung, IA&AS (Retired) former Secretary to Govt. of India, is sole member of the committee constituted by Honourable President of India, in the capacity of Visitor of Aligarh Muslim Aligarh, under Section 13(2) of the University Act 1920. The committee has been authorized to devise its own modalities to complete its report within 3 months. Justice Fakhruddin declared that the committee will follow Quranic Guide Lines to examine the witnesses.

The order of inquiry issued under the signatures of Mr. S. Kumar, J.S., Department of Higher Education, Ministry of HRD, was made public, even before it was delivered to the V.C. on 28th July, 2009. The reports in the media (27th July) gave a false impression that the inquiry is against VC only and the fact that the committee shall also investigate allegations against the complainants, was mischievously suppressed. The order was issued in such haste that officials even forget to write date on such an important document.

The whole episode started in 2008-09 when Mr. Arjun Singh, was Minister of HRD. He first got nominated Mr. Wasim Ahmad and Dr. Mansoor Ahmad to Executive Counsel of AMU and then moved to initiate inquiry against the University on a representation submitted to him on 28th March, 2009 and a petition filed on 3/5 March, 2009 to the visitor by eight EC members including Chief Rector's (Governor of UP) sole nominee, namely Prof. Habibur Rahman and both nominees of the Visitor. All three nominated members are allegedly indulged in groupism and in-spite of reaching Aligarh before time and entertaining facilities at University Guest House, deliberately remain absent from the meetings to defunct the working of EC.

Council members also stressed the importance of the private sector and its role in helping to decrease unemployment. Faris Al-Himyari, head of the YCC’s media and culture committee, said, “It’s important to talk more about the private sector’s role and seek better cooperation between the public and private sectors. We’re talking about the future here, so I believe it’s important for all sides and parties to help build a safe one.”

In the council’s final statement, members indicated that there should be more cooperation between all educational bodies in Yemen, adding that they look forward to creating a better future for young Yemenis by providing them more jobs.

As Mejalli stated, “Yemen’s Ministry of Higher Education and the Civil Services Ministry should have a strategy of cooperation so that college graduates will be able to find jobs. This also would help dispel the many unacceptable phenomena that are growing in this country, one of which is terrorism.”
