'Sangh Parivar behind AMU trouble'

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, SEPT. 12. The Communist Party of India (Marxist- Leninist) Liberation today condemned the Sangh Parivar affiliates and the BJP for ``attempts to foment communal trouble'' in Aligarh Muslim University.

In a statement issued here, the party also demanded an inquiry into an incident in which a student, it said, was picked up by plain clothesmen who arrived in a vehicle without number plate and the police later declared the student's arrest.

The CPI(ML) said the Sangh Parivar including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal along with communal section of police and administration were set to ``vitiate the atmosphere in the University and create communal tension there.''

It said while the saffron brigade was terming the whole academic community of the University as a ``bunch of anti- nationals'', the police and administration are suppressing democratic voices in the campus and justifying their action as crackdown on ISI agents.

The party appealed to the students, teachers and employees of the University to ``resolutely oppose the design to malign the credentials of AMU''.
