Muzafar Shah visits Eflu campus in Hyderabad

SRINAGAR: Awami National Conference today accused the Proctor of English and Foreign Languages University at Hyderabad of direct involvement and abetment in the death of Kashmiri scholar, Muddasir Kamran of Parigam (Pulwama), at the University hostel.

In a statement issued on Monday, the party Senior Vice-President, Muzaffar Shah, visited the University campus to ascertain the circumstances surrounding Muddasirs death. During his interaction with various scholars, he was told the University Proctor was responsible for it.

According to research scholar, Garram Sita Rammulla, who lived next-door to Muddasir Kamran, the rabidly communal Proctor, Harish Vizra, used to harass the Kashmiri scholar causing him extreme frustration and it was at his (Vizras) instance that Muddasir was handed over to the police station where he was subjected to physical torture, the statement said.

Quoting the research scholar, Shah said, the teaching and non-teaching staff, including professors and lecturers, as also scholars and students, had staged massive demonstrations to protest Muddasirs death, and forcing closure of the University.

Unless and until the Proctor and the concerned police officials are booked for the heinous crime; a member of Muddasirs family is given a job and an ex-gratia relief of Rs 40 lakh is paid to the bereaved parents, the University will remain closed, the protestors announced.
