Authorities in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh have initiated proceedings to demolish the majority of buildings at Mohammad Ali Jauhar University. The state government, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alleges that 38 of the university’s 40 structures were constructed illegally.
The university was founded by Mohammad Azam Khan, a prominent Muslim leader and former state minister. The legal action against the institution is part of a broader series of challenges facing the founder. Supporters and observers have expressed concern regarding the future of the university, noting the significant impact the potential demolition could have on the institution’s operations and its students.
