New Delhi, May 1 (TNS):<\/strong>\u00a0Objecting to a portrait of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in the Students\u2019 Union Office at Aligarh Muslim University, BJP MP Satish Gautam has written to the Vice-Chancellor demanding that the portrait be taken down, Indian media reported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is fine if Jinnah has been revered in Pakistan after Partition. But his portrait should not be put up here in India,\u201d said Aligarh MP Gautam, who also plans to speak to V-C Tariq Mansoor about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe university should instead celebrate the contributions of Raja Mahendra Pratap and Sir Syyed Ahmed who played a crucial role in establishing the university,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The portrait was installed in 1938 before Partition, at the peak of Muslim League campaign for a separate nation for the Muslims of India.

AMU Students\u2019 Union, however, claims that Jinnah, like many other pre-Partition leaders, were conferred honorary membership of the university and as such their portraits have been installed in the campus since 1920.<\/p>\n

\u201cJinnah\u2019s portrait was installed when he was conferred life membership (of the Students\u2019 Union) in 1938. AMU has many things from the pre-Partition era like the Victoria Gate. Should that be brought down as well?\u201d asked former AMU Students\u2019 Union president Faizul Hasan.<\/p>\n

AMU administration also maintains that AMU Students’ Union is an autonomous body.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a tradition since 1920 to honour people of eminence with life membership. AMU first conferred it on Mahatma Gandhi in 1920 and on Jinnah in 1938. It is part of history\u2026 it does not mean we are part of them or their politics. CV Raman and VV Giri were also honoured with the same,\u201d AMU Public Relations Officer (PRO) Omar Peerzada told News18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
