Aligarh: Coming just days after the BJP's mayor in Aligarh warned Aligarh Muslim University not to sell beef biryani from its canteens, a letter from the party's MP there, Satish Gautam, tells vice-chancellor Zameeruddin Shah in very categorical terms to stay away from "anti-Sangh Parivar, anti-sarkar (government) and anti-BJP' activities.The letter, which authorities in AMU said "looked like both threat and warning" says in its subject line that it is "In relation to the ‘anti-government’ seminars and discussions held at Aligarh Muslim University”. It doesn't mention the dates when such seminars were held or who attended and addressed them.Gautam's missive, a copy of which is with TOI, says, “We can see what is happening in Jawaharlal Nehru University. Keeping these events in mind, Aligarh Muslim University should not give permission for any anti-national or anti-government event.”The strongly worded letter further says: “In the past few days, there were some events in the university that digressed from the main topic of discussion and heavily dwelt on an anti-Sangh, Sarkar and BJP sentiment (sic). Interestingly, the people selected or invited to the events to speak are those who have a mind and thought completely against the ruling dispensation at the Centre, and believe in dissolution or disruption (sic).”The letter, issued on Monday, then reminds the VC of his Army background -- Shah is a former Lt Gen -- and asks him to "stop the politicization" of the campus. “AMU is an international university, so it is of utmost importance to stall any attempt at politicization of the campus… You have served in the Indian Army, so you very well know the importance of the government,” Gautam writes.When TOI contacted Gautam, he said, “I have written a letter to the AMU VC to alert him that AMU does not go the JNU way. I do not want to refer to any particular event and incident, but I want to say that whatever is happening in JNU should not happen in AMU.”Shah, who claimed that he hadn’t yet read the letter, said, “I don’t know what exactly he means by ‘anti-national events’. There are some issues we are already dealing with, like the minority institution tag and some students' agitations on the campus. But these are not anti-national. All I can say is that we will not allow any kind of anti-national activity. Any such thing that is not in the interest of the nation will never be allowed here.”The BJP MP signs off the letter with a warning. “We hope that in the near future, you will not give permission to those events that are anti-national (and) anti-government in nature. Before allowing any event on campus, do keep in mind the gravity of the topic of the seminar, and if you think it is in nature against the national interest and government then better not to allow it in the university.”
