AMU Students Protest for Restoration of Student Union and Elections
At Aligarh Muslim University, students have been protesting since September 21 to demand the restoration of the student union and elections, which have not been held for nearly eight years. The protest includes a hunger strike by suspended postgraduate student Yasir Fahad. Demonstrators seek a clear timeline for elections, withdrawal of suspensions and FIRs against protesters, and the resignation of the university proctor. The agitation has seen support from former union members and occasional clashes between student groups, while university authorities have denied allegations of interference.
