Present AMU Crises

            The Aligarh Muslim University with a glorious past has witnessed anti-university policies, rampant, financial irregularities and flagrant violation of rules and total indifference towards academics during the tenure of  the present Vice-Chancellor, Dr. PK Abdul Azis, who has been patronised and provided with strategic protection from his political masters in Delhi, which forced the Association to resort to agitational means to remedy the situation and save this premier national institution from annihilation.

            The Association has been on dharna and relay hunger strike for nearly a month, demanding removal of the Vice-Chancellor and the Proctor from their office immediately as the only solution of the present crises. Despite repeatedly apprising the Visitor, the Prime Minister and UPA Chairperson there has not been any reasonable response from them although there is a claim by them of rooting out the corrupt and corruption from public life.     

Among other failures of Dr. PK Abdul Azis the latest was the sine die closure of the University on 29.4.2011 for the third time in four years, on the false pretext of violent clash at the Proctor’s Office, when there was firing even from inside the Proctor’s Office, in the presence of police personnel. The Association immediately unequivocally condemned the violence and requested a time-bound enquiry into the incident to fix responsibility and punish the guilty. Although crores of University funds have been spent on installing CCTV cameras even the names of the persons firing from within the Proctor’s Office have interestingly not been revealed till date. For the first time in its history the University was closed sine die within two hours on a mere report of junior staff of the District Administration, causing irreparable academic loss to thousands of innocent students as also undue financial hardship. The closure was typical of coercive and intimidating style of functioning of Dr. Azis.

            The Proctor maligned the fair name of our glorious University by falsely alleging that arms were stock-piled in hostels and from where anti-social elements were operating, which was subsequently found baseless and even then Dr. Azis is not willing to sack him.

            The following acts of omission and commission by Dr Azis, during his stay at AMU as well as his previous assignment, deserve special mention:

1. Before joining AMU, Dr. Azis was indicted on financial mismanagement and administrative lapses by the Finance Inspection Wing of the Govt. of Kerala, which recommended ‘strict disciplinary action’ against him.  
2. At AMU, the Annual Audit Report (2008-2009) of Comptroller and Auditor General, Allahabad, exposed his financial irregularities and held him and the Registrar responsible for financial mismanagement.
3. The Interim Report submitted in March 2011 by two judge Fact Finding Inquiry Committee ordered by the President of India too has indicted Dr. Azis of financial irregularities. 
4. Dr. Azis is more interested in illegal AMU Centres, which will ruin the basic residential character of the University, to fulfill the design of the Congress to befool Muslims for electoral gains.

It is requested that all well-wishers will extend a helping hand to further the peaceful democratic agitation of the AMU Teachers’ Association to remove Dr. P K Abdul Azis and save our alma mater, a great seat of learning.
