Tariq Islam' RTI Reveals Ejaz Maqbool's Attempt to Mislead AMU Fact Finding Inquiry Committee headed by Justice Fakhruddin

Aligarh Muslim University's reply to RTI query filed by Dr Tariq Islam has revaled that Mr Ejaz Maqbool, Advocate Supreme Court of India, University Representative, appointed by the Prof P K Abdul Azis, Vice Chancellor, AMU, has attempted to mislead the AMU Fact Finding Inquiry Committee (constituted by the Hon'ble Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil in her capacity as the Visitor) in his communication to it with regard to modalities.

Ejaz Maqbool in the said communication titled " Modalities To Be Decided By The Hon’ble Committee" submitted before the AMU Fact Finding Inquiry Committee on 20th August 2009 had, among other things, stated as under:

“This Hon’ble Fact Finding Inquiry Committee also has to look into the illegality committed by the 8 members of the Executive Council particularly in the light that they are not performing their duties in attending the Executive Council’s meetings whenever the said meetings are being called by the University and also in the illegal activities of some of the 8 Complainants”.

Subsequently an RTI was filed on the issue by Dr Tariq Islam and the reply received from the Central Public Information Officer (CPIO) of AMU, which is self explanatory, is given below.
