The writer of the article has quoted Dr. Shahid only partially. I was present at the AMUTA GBM. What Dr. Shahid said was that the Authorities should not open the University in haste. Proper cleansing drive to evict illegal occupants, if any, from the hostels should be undertaken, even if takes full academic year to achieve that. The safety and security of all on the campus should not be compromised at any cost. He was at pain to note that more than 99% of the students who are peace loving and career conscious failed to understand the motives of the less than 1% bad elements, putting their career at stake themselves.
The writer has deliberately tried to create a divide between teachers and students by giving such dangerous dimensions to Dr. shahid%u2019s comments. That%u2019s why he/she is hiding the name.
All concerned should make it very clear that and educational organization takes its strength from its students. No organization can even survive, leave alone excel, if it fails to keep the interests of its students at top.
Dear Mr. Faraz, if you are at AMU, I suggest that you personally meet Dr. Shahid. It is good to clear any doubts than to get carried away by some irresponsible person's article.
