Lucknow | Wednesday | 13th February, 2019

Summary:

Hamza Sufyan, vice-president of AMU Students’ Union, told The Indian Express, “There was an event being organised by the university students on oppressed sections of the society. We are filing FIRs against Republic TV and unknown outsiders for disturbing the peaceful environement of the university,” said Rizvi. The reporters from Republic TV did not have permission to cover the event or enter the university premises. “We have asked the university officials to conduct an impartial inquiry and take action accordingly. When they were stopped by the proctor, they misbehaved with university officials and got into a confrontation, raising objectionble slogans calling AMU a ‘university of terrorists’,” Sufyan alleged..
