Though dissent should have been not only allowed but also respected in the biggest democracy of the world, we mean India but shocking and equally hurting and insulting it is that dissent is not only disallowed but debunked with authoritarianism in the highest learning centres of the country, here we mean prestigious professional colleges and reputed universities of India. Lately the sword of authoritarianism has fallen on the gullible Kashmiri students at Alligarah Muslim University (AMU) for the fault of an attempt to hold funeral prayers in absentia for one of their former colleague-turned-militant commander of Hizb-Ul-Mujahideen Manan Wani . For the Kashmiri students studying at the Alligarah Muslim University Manan Wani was not a militant commander but one of their former colleague in the field of research and offering funeral prayer in absentia for any one is not a crime as top religious cleric of Kashmir Mirwaiz Molvi Umar Farooq has put. Now if at all the funeral prayer in absentia by the Kashmiri students at Aligarah Muslim University had become objectionable in the spirit of nationhood for the non Kashmiri students in the unity but the suspension of the accused and slapping sedition charges on the charges are the actions had to initiated only after a proper inquiry would found guilty those against whom action has been take. Since the Kashmiri student not numbering less than 1200 are contesting the allegations and threaten mass quitting from the university to protest the arbitrary action the authorities have taken against them it is for the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Aditya Nath and the Union Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javedkar to intervene and persuade the concerned authorities to revoke the suspension and withdraw the sedition charges just to show that both the central and state governments are interest in cementing the educational bonding of Kashmir youth with the rest of India but not in break it.
Now when the Jammu & Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik has taken up the issue with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Aditya Nath it for the Union Human Resources Development Minister and Vice Chancellor Aligarah Muslim University to ensure that actions taken against two Kashmiri students are withdrawn to show respect to the sentiment with which this university was established by late Sir Syed Ahmad Khan whose birth days is also being celebrated on 16th October ,i.e, Just tomorrow.
