Owaisi said, “Jamia gets Rs 3 lakh per student and AMU gets Rs 3.90 lakh per student but Banaras Hindu University (BHU) gets Rs 6.15 lakh. Not only this, Jamia and AMU are ranked nationally The university has also been doing well with the right support from the government, but for that, Prime Minister Modi must stop discriminating against them.”
What the SC said in its decision
Talking about Kishanganj centre, Owaisi said AMU’s Kishanganj center was in poor condition in the past few years. The government should also pay immediate attention and the center should start work as soon as possible.
The Supreme Court on Friday decided to transfer the AMU minority status case to a new three-judge bench and quash its 1967 judgment which said the university cannot be considered a minority institution as it was established under a central law .
