A Kashmiri student was Monday expelled from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) for posting “objectionable” comments on Facebook over the militant attack on the army base in Uri, media reports said.
As per reports the student, Mudassir Yusuf from Srinagar, had offered his apologies to the Vice Chancellor yesterday for posting the comments stating that he was “carried away by sentiments”, according to reports quoting university sources.
AMU Vice Chancellor Lt Gen Zameer Uddin Shah took a “very serious view” of the issue and expelled the student, who was pursuing M.Sc in Organic Chemistry, after personally probing the matter, reports quoting university spokesman Rahat Abrar said.
“Lt Gen Shah said that there is no scope whatsoever at AMU for tolerating any incident which smacks of anti-national sentiments,” the spokesman said.
However, the university authorities decided to go ahead with his expulsion.
BJP Lok Sabha Member from Aligarh, Satish Kumar Gautam had also written to the Vice Chancellor demanding stringent action against the student for his Facebook post.
