Aligarh: Sparking yet another communal controversy, Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is allegedly not serving breakfast and lunch to the non-Muslim students during the ongoing month-long fasting fest of Ramazan.
As per the students, the university mess is only serving them sehri (food before dawn at around 3 a.m.) and dinner.
“As the university is closed, we are only serving Sehri and Dinner. We are not serving breakfast and dinner during Ramazan,” said Samash Uddin, AMU dining hall in-charge.
After the student’s ire, the university administration has now promised to provide food thrice a day.
AMU PRO Umar Salim Pirzada said it is the custom of the University which is being followed from quite a long time and now they are making arrangements to provide lunch on demands of the students.
Meanwhile, former AMU student and National leader Amir Rashid said that he received a complaint from few students after which action was taken on the same.
“We wrote a letter to the RSS and BJP based on the complaint filed by the students after which the University administration agreed to make changes in their 97-year-old tradition,” he said.
