**Aligarh, India:** Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has raised questions about the reservation policy of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). Speaking at a public event, Adityanath questioned why the university, which receives government funding, does not provide reservations for backward classes.
He highlighted that while AMU offers no reservations for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, or Other Backward Classes (OBCs), it maintains a 50% reservation quota for Muslims. This disparity, he asserted, is unfair and discriminatory.
The Chief Minister’s remarks have ignited a debate about the role of government-funded institutions in promoting social justice and inclusivity.
