RJD MLA from Kocha Daman in Kishanganj, Akhtar-ul-Iman, was in the forefront of those leading the protest outside the Assembly. The party MLAs alleged that while the state government had handed over land to the Centre for the opening of Nalanda International University by the Union government why is it that it has failed to allot land for the AMU off-campus centre.
They said that it was none else but the chief minister Nitish Kumar himself who compelled the AMU to shift its campus from Katihar to Kishanganj. Now more than two years have passed yet no land has been allotted whereas in other states classes have started in off campus branches.
