The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has arbitrarily increased the fees for undergraduate, postgraduate, and other academic programmes by 36 percent.
In protest, students held a demonstration on Tuesday, August 5, by blocking the Baab-e-Syed gate, the main entrance to the campus.
“We are demanding our
rights, not begging from anyone. Have some shame, administration!” angry students yelled demanding immediate rollback.
When authorities tried to forcefully remove them, they shouted, “Sharam karo, sharam karo, proctor team sharam karo (Shame on you, proctor team),” “Band karo, band karo, badtameezi band karo (Stop this misbehaviour).”
