Three days back a B.Sc. final year student Shahnawaz Alam was shot dead by a goon called Kallu khan , fighting erupted over a parking issue at a restaurant near Aligarh railway Station and it resulted it Shahnawaz's death...Police came into action and within 24 hours of the incident they have nabbed the culprit and put him behind the bar.
Now taking this killing as an issue few students and the adversaries of AMU Vice Chancellor Prof Abdul Aziz started demonstration and within no time more than 2000 students gathered outside Bab-e-Syed and starting shouting slogans against the VC and demanding his resignation on moral grounds...Two days went by and still no accord took place between the agitating students and the administration , in the meantime three students started hunger strike and the situation became worse....and instead of tackling this issue by taking the students into confidence, VC has decided to close the university Sine Die...now how many times we have witnessed such closures...it seems administration know only one way to tackle the students unrest and that is to close the university, flush out the students from the hostels, send them home, deploy the RAF & PAC in the campus and set up a high profile committee of professors and officials to find out the reason of unrest and suspend the culprits from the university rolls....I am really disgusted to see the administration working in such manner...by closing the university they are not only playing with future of the students but also jeopardizing the academic session....I am sure this matter would have resolved by talking to the agitated students and letting them realize the graveness of such situation and persuaded them to stand with the administration for the betterment of the institution...but they have acted otherwise and have given enough fuel to the miscreants and rogue elements to ignite such kind of instances again and again....though administration was not at fault for the killing but they have certainly taken an immature decision and washed away all the support it was getting from the students and other well wishers of the institution!!!!
I am sure the situation would have diffused if the administration would have shown a little maturity in handling the situation....students are mostly prone to agitations and demonstrations and they just need a flame to ignite the fire and this time also they did the same...VC should have appointed someone or should have lead from the front in talking to the students and infusing a sense of belonging and responsibility but unfortunately he did nothing !!!!
Its time that Institutions should take a different approach to solve the problem..afterall you dont close down a company if some of the employees start agitating...do you?
