New Delhi: Jamia University Vice Chancellor Mushir Ul Hasan is getting some support in his battle to provide legal aid to the students accused of being involved in terrorist activities.

Human Resource Development Minister Arjun Singh has come out in his support.

Hasan has been under fire from the BJP ever since he announced providing legal aid to Shakeel Ahmed and Zia Ul Rahman, the two students picked up by the Delhi police last week for their alleged involvement in the serial bombings in the Capital.

The Jamia Vice Chancellor went to meet the HRD minister at his residence to apprise him of all that’s been happening within the premises of Jamia University.

Incidentally, the Jamia University named its distance learning center after the HRD minister in May last year.

Also, as a gratitude for his grant of Rs 40 crore to the varsity, a road leading to the teachers residence complex was also renamed to Shahrah-i-Arjun Singh.

There are whispers in Parliament that the HRD Minister, who is involved in a tussle with the Minority Affairs Minister A R Antulay over minority institutions, wants to show the world who's boss.
