Deoband/New
Delhi: Supporters of sacked Darul Uloom Deoband vice
chancellor Ghulam Mohammad Vastanvi said Sunday they may go to the
Supreme Court against the decision.
The decision to remove Vastanvi over his comments in praise of
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's developmental policies was
taken Sunday by the powerful Majlis-e-Shoora.
"There is no case against Vastanvi sahab. The three-member
committee has given him a clean chit so there is no case to remove
him," a supporter of Vastanvi said.
"The report of the enquiry committee is also incomplete. All of
his supporters want to go to the Supreme Court," he said.
All India Muslim Personal Law Board member Kamal Farooqui,
however, said that the Supreme Court has no role to play in this.
"How can the Supreme Court come into the picture? The decision has
been taken by the (Majlis-e-) Shoora, if he goes to the court it
will be very unfortunate," Farooqui said.
"These institutions function in a democratic manner, whether the
report was complete or incomplete. The Shoora has taken the
decision with majority so where is the scope," he asked adding: "Majlis-e-Shoora
is totally competent to take the decision and I am quite sure they
must have taken all aspects in account."
Farooqui said the "disturbance" was being created by those who
wanted to "destabilise" the institution.
"Those who want to destabilise the Deoband are doing these
things," he added.
The Bharatiya Janata Party's Rajiv Pratap Rudy said: "Vastanvi has
been removed for appreciating the Gujarat chief minister, he was
possibly removed for speaking the truth."
Those against Vastanvi, however, said that his comments favouring
Modi were not worth forgiving.
"He has appreciated such a person that he can not be forgiven," a
student from the Darul Ullom said reacting to the decision.
"It is an academic institution, those having a political
inclination are not fit to be there," All India Muslim Personal
Law Board member S.Q.R. Ilyas said.
