Summary:
New Delhi: Taking note of the reports published in various newspapers that Delhi University is going to start a course on “Islam and international relations” under which “Islam and transnational terrorism” will be taught, Delhi Minorities Commission has issued a notice to the Registrar of Delhi University. After similar notice was issued to its Registrar, he wrote to the Commission that no such course has been approved. The DMC asked the university that individuals and groups belonging to many religions have indulged in terrorism across the world in recent times, then why a course only on “Islamic terrorism” is being started. It must be recalled that earlier also Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) had planned to start a similar course but DMC intervened at that time also and JNU had to backtrack. The Commission said that it will send a wrong message to society, increase communal tension and help hate politics..
