University in Aligarh conducts candlelit procession in commemoration of Pulwama attacks

In recent days, a post on social media has questioned the response of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) to the Pulwama attacks. However, a thorough examination of the available information reveals a different picture.

Firstly, it's important to note that the claim that AMU is only concerned when their religion is involved cannot be confirmed or denied based on the provided information. The university's actions speak for themselves, as they have shown concern for incidents not involving their religion.

Regarding the Pulwama attacks, the provided information does not indicate any lack of response from AMU. On the contrary, the university administration has condemned the attack, as stated by Prof. M Shafey Kidwai from the Public Relations Office of AMU. Aligarh Muslim University also held a protest after the Pulwama attacks, contradicting the claim made in the post.

Furthermore, various articles and videos mention AMU's condolences and deep sympathies for the families of the killed CRPF personnel. The official website of AMU also mentions their condemnation of the Pulwama attack.

Moreover, the Aligarh Muslim University Students' Union (AMUSU) held a candle march in tribute to the victims of the Christchurch terror attack, demonstrating their concern for incidents not related to their religion. Additionally, AMU held a candle march protesting against the New Zealand shooting, further emphasising their stance against violence and terrorism, regardless of the religious or ethnic background of the victims.

In conclusion, the claim that Aligarh Muslim University did not protest for the Pulwama attacks is false. The university has shown concern for incidents not involving their religion and has condemned the Pulwama attacks, expressing solidarity with the victims' families. The post implying that AMU is only concerned when their religion is involved is also unfounded, as the university's actions speak for themselves.
