Uttar Pradesh University Faces Demolition Notice Amid Political Controversy
Authorities in Uttar Pradesh have issued a demolition notice for 38 buildings at Jauhar University, founded by politician Azam Khan. The notice cites the buildings as 'unapproved'. The action has drawn condemnation from the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) and appeals from political leaders and civil society groups to reconsider the decision. Some leaders have framed the demolition as an attack on students' dreams and a vindictive act.
