New Delhi: 

Aligarh Muslim University Vice Chancellor Lt Gen Zameer Uddin Shah has written a letter to HRD Minister Smriti Irani, seeking her intervention to avoid a “massive student unrest” and a “probability of communal conflagration” if “certain elements” proceed with their plans of celebrating Raja Mahendra Pratap Day, a freedom fighter who had made contributions to the institute.

"In view of the threat of disturbance from these people, claiming to be affiliated to various political parties/outfits, another political outfit opposing them joined the fray and announced that they would not allow the rally to be held. This political gamesmanship, if allowed to proceed, has potential for serious trouble,” the vice chancellor said in the letter, without naming the BJP, which has called for the celebrations.
