Patna,(BiharTimes): A few days after Bihar’s Human Resources Development Minister, P K Shahi, charged the Union HRD Minister, Kapil Sibal, of telling lie on the issue of AMU Centre in Kishanganj, the Registrar of Aligarh Muslim University has clarified that no case is pending in Allahabad High Court.

It needs to be recalled that after meeting Sibal on November 3, Shahi quoted the Union minister as saying that the Centre would take a decision on an AMU centre after the disposal of the writ petition against the opening of AMU centres outside Aligarh, pending with the Allahabad high court.
A few days later, when a delegation of AMU activists called on Sibal, he refuted giving any assurance to Shahi and even claimed that the writ petition had already been disposed of. Upon this Shahi reacted and said Sibal is lying.
With Registrar clarification it is now clear as to who is telling lie and who not, Mohammed Mudassir Alam of AMU Centre Coordination Committee, told BiharTimes.
Interestingly, even the chief minister Nitish Kumar at an International Islamic Seminar last Sunday held the VC of AMU, P K Abdul Azis, responsible for the land controversy. He asked the people not to politicize the issue.
Sibal and Abdul Azis have been repeatedly under attack from the state government, especially after last month’s massive protest in Kishanganj.
Azis on his part always maintained that the Bihar government was “misleading” the people over land allotment and that the land has not been transferred to the AMU.
Those fighting for the AMU land says that had the case been pending in Allahabad High Court other Centres would not have been functioning. They cite the example of neighbouring West Bengal, where the classes have already started in a makeshift venue in Murshidabad as the process for constructing the building is in progress.
