Manan Wani: AMU suspends 3 students for offering funeral prayers in absentia
Srinagar: The Aligarh Muslim University Thursday has suspended three Kashmiri students afte they tried to offer ‘Janaje ki Namaz’ following the death of former research scholar-turned Hizbul Mujahideen commander, Mannan Wani, in an operation by the Army’s 30 Rashtriya Rifles in Kupwara of Kashmir earlier in the day.
Confirming the move, proctor of the university Mohsin Khan said, “The three Kashmiri students were suspended as they violated the university’s discipline and rules and indulged in unlawful assembly. Four other students who supported the namaz will be issued a show cause notice. The students and their academic details are being identified. Anti-national activities will not be tolerated in the university campus.”
Around 15 Kashmiri students gathered at Kennedy Hall allegedly for performing the namaz, which is offered in memory of the dead, after Wani’s death was reported. Wani was pursuing a doctorate in geology at AMU when he joined the militant outfit earlier this year.
