Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath has said that there is no question of celebrating Muhammad Ali Jinnah in India, it was reported in India Today TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scores of students of the AMU were when some right wing activists stormed into the campus on Wednesday and attacked them<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 allegedly with police backing – in connection with a row over a decades-old photograph of freedom fighter Muhammad Ali Jinnah.<\/p>\n

The right wing activists have been demanding the removal of Jinnah\u2019s photograph, which students have been fighting hard to resist for sometime. Former Vice President, Hamid Ansari was to speak there, but the programme had to be cancelled due to this.<\/p>\n

Adityanath told India Today TV, \u201cJinnah divided this country. How can we celebrate his achievements? I have asked for an inquiry [into the clash in AMU]. We will act as soon as the report is submitted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lt.Gen. (Retd) Zameer Uddin Shah, former AMU Vice Chancellor wrote in The Bengal Story on Thursday that \u201cthe university has always been in the eye of the storm and subjected to negative publicity for all the wrong reasons. It is a modern secular university with an Islamic ethos which probably galls a lot of people who do not understand or value the \u201cGanga Jamuni Tahzeeb\u201d the institution epitomises.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also wrote that \u201cthe university is wrongly accused of harbouring anti-national sentiments and we have taken pains to explain that criticism of the government should in no way be construed as an anti-national activity.\u201d<\/p>\n
