Have faith in judiciary: AMU VC on minority status

January 16, 2016 15:56

As protests erupted over the Centre's stand on the minority status of Aligarh Muslim University, vice-chancellor Lt General (retd.) Zameeruddin Shah has called upon the Muslim community not to get unduly exercised on the issue and have "full faith" in judiciary.

In a written appeal today, Shah said that while all right minded citizens of the country were rightly concerned about the issue of restoration of minority character of the historic institution of higher learning, "we should have full faith in our judicial system for protecting minority rights".

Shah's appeal came in the wake of a number of protests by minority groups on the campus and also in the old city yesterday.
