Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) President Syed Sadatullah Husaini has said that Aligarh Muslim University achieved global acclamation in the various academic disciplines.
The JIH President has written a letter to the Vice-Chancellor of the Aligarh Muslim University, congratulating its students, faculty, administration and the alumni of AMU on the occasion of the centenary celebrations and hoped for further progress of the university. He said, “AMU has completed the proud journey of 100 years of valuable contribution to education and research. I express heartiest greetings to the Management, the students, the alumni and all countrymen. We expect and pray for the next leg of its academic journey to be more impressive and path-breaking.”
Hailing the University for playing the important role in the development of the country through its extraordinary capabilities, the JIH President has reminded the Government of India to its responsibility of educational advancement of minorities. He asserted, “The constitutional guarantee of the educational advancement of minorities and their cultural rights requires that the government should pay attention to the institutions, which have minority characters. The government should also shield firmly against the assault or move, which is committed to abolish the minority character of the AMU, from time to time.”
The JIH President said, “the University deserves special packages from the central and state governments for its expansion and to scale up its research facilities. The minority status of AMU and its status as the bastion of Muslim culture needs careful nurturing and preservation.” He demanded the government to establish more campuses of the university in various cities across the country.
