'Muslim academicians deliberately denied placements in MP varsities'

Bhopal: Haji Mohammad Haroon, chairman Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee’s Minority Department, has alleged that there is deliberate negligence in selection of teaching faculty from Muslim minority community in universities of Madhya Pradesh during the last five years.

Haji Haroon has urged Madhya Pradesh Governor Rameshwar Thakur, who happens to be the Chancellor of universities of the state, to take appropriate action and direct Vice Chancellors to select Muslim minority community intellectuals and academicians for the teaching posts and their nomination in Executive Councils of Madhya Pradesh Universities with immediate effect.

Haji Haroon, who is also Jamiat-e-Ulama Hind, Madhya Pradesh Unit president, submitted a memorandum to this effect to the state Governor Thakur. The memorandum stated that in the last five years no Professors, Readers, Lecturers, Librarians and even Class Three employees are not being selected for recruitment in any of the Science, Management, or other subjects despite possessing requisite qualifications in the seven universities of Madhya Pradesh. The universities are: Barkatullah University (Bhopal), Indore, Sagar, Rewa, Gwalior and Jabalpur.

The memorandum pointed out that the Vice Chancellors of Madhya Pradesh have neglected even the representation of the Muslim minority community in the Executive Councils of the universities and the appointment to the posts of Rectors in the universities.

Haji Haroon said this is deliberate systematic planning of not selecting Muslim candidates for teaching posts in the universities of Madhya Pradesh has to be completely stopped. The community is losing faith in the education system of the state, he alleged.
