New Delhi, May 3 (TNS): The storm over Pakistan\u2019s founder Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah\u2019s portrait in the union\u00a0hall of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) refuses to die down.<\/p>\n
Indian state of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, close aide of Modi and hardliner Hindu nationalist, said that there was no question of eulogizing, or\u00a0honouring Jinnah in India.<\/p>\n
Talking to a news channel shortly before his departure for Karnataka on Thursday, the Uttar\u00a0Pradesh chief minister said that an inquiry has been ordered into the incidents of violence in AMU\u00a0on Wednesday and further action will be taken on getting the report. The report is expected to be
\nsent to the government on Friday, sources said.<\/p>\n
Yogi Adityanath will be in Karnataka for three days where he will campaign for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the forthcoming assembly elections in the
\nsouthern state.<\/p>\n
Even as the situation in AMU continued to remain tense but calm, a day after Wednesday\u2019s violence\u00a0in which about a dozen persons were injured, hundreds of students had assembled at Baba Syed\u00a0gate.<\/p>\n
Mohd Ali Jinnah\u2019s portrait, reports said had been hanging in the union hall since 1938. The\u00a0BJP MP from Aligarh, Satish Gautam, recently wrote a letter to the AMU VC in which he objected to\u00a0Jinnah\u2019s portrait in the students\u2019 union hall of the university.<\/p>\n
Reports said about 41 people, including 28 students and 13 policemen, were injured in\u00a0Wednesday\u2019s violence which was sparked off following protests, reportedly, by activists of Hindu\u00a0Yuva Vahini, who tried to enter the union hall and demanded immediate removal of the portrait.<\/p>\n
The violence preceded the function which was to be held to confer lifetime membership of\u00a0AMU on former vice president of India, Hamid Ansari. The function was called off following\u00a0Wednesday\u2019s violence.<\/p>\n
