Aligarh: The AMU Teachers` Association (AMUTA) on Monday charged outgoing Vice Chancellor Prof P K Abdul Azis of trying to "deliberately run down the CBI" by terming its interim report as a "gimmick".
The AMUTA took out a procession here and set fire to the booklet listing the achievements of the outgoing VC, describing it as a "bundle of lies". Secretary of the AMUTA Mustafa Zaidi said that it was shocking that instead of displaying concern at the categorical charges against him mentioned in the interim CBI report, the VC had said at a press conference that whatever was mentioned in the interim report, he would be fully absolved in the final report.
Zaidi alleged that the VC appeared to be confident that he would use his political clout to dilute the final inquiry. The teachers have also alleged that the VC was trying to use his influence to appoint an interim Pro-VC to run the University affairs till a successor is appointed. The teachers warned that if the Centre allows this, it would tantamount to allowing Prof Azis to out his henchmen in place for covering up all his misdeeds till a new administration is in place. PTI
