On condition of anonymity, a senior official said, "The student has created an unnecessary controversy, showing AMU in a bad light." "University registrar Javaid Akhtar said, "The names of all the people who had donated land for the institution are displayed in the university." However, he added that he was not sure about display of pictures.AMU authorities are however contemplating strict action against Ansari who started the row.
