#KK Reporter of The Times of India should make a public apology. Mrs Erum Agha, a reporter working with The Times of India should make a public apology for defaming the prestige of Aligarh Muslim University by manipulating and modifying the comments of the Vice Chancellor, Lt. Gen. (Retd) Zameeruddin Shah. The Vice Chancellor who always talks of women empowerment and gender equality in formal as well informal meetings can never make any misogynic comments. The report published in The Times of India with all the wrong interpretations was a deliberate attempt to malign the image of this great institution. For the kind information of reporter, the girl students are treated as special ones rather than separate ones in the campus. The university has always been an example of creating history in terms of women empowerment. It is the only university in the world to have a woman as its first chancellor (Begum Sultana Jahan). The allegedreport in the newspaper that the girl students are not allowed to avail the facility of Maulana Azad Library (MAL) was on the false grounds. At present more than 3000 girl students have the membership of MAL. They do not only get books issued from there but also sit and study in its reading halls as per their convenience. The university has recognition of providing separate reading halls to all the departments/ centres/ colleges/ hostels/ with an ample of updated books without any gender bias. Girls too have separate reading halls in their respective halls. Furthermore, Women’s college has its own well equipped library with the plenty of important books. The women’s college has identity of having separate facilities including library and students’ union. Boycott TOI Save AMU
