PM Modi Addresses Aligarh Muslim University's Centenary Event | Read

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the centenary celebrations of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) today via video conferencing. PM Modi also released a postal stamp during the event. Last week, the media statement from the university had said that the Vice Chancellor, Professor Tariq Mansoor, has "appealed to all concerned to keep the Centenary Programme above politics". The premier university has had a thorny relation with the BJP, whose leaders have repeatedly criticised the university students and even suggested that the name of the institution be changed.
