*Aligarh** April 22:* A meeting of the senior teachers of AMU was held today
to discuss the mischievous news reports that appeared in some newspapers
that "An enquiry has been setup against the AMU Vice Chancellor". The
members felt that such baseless reports are bound to damage the image of the
institution and consequently the career of thousands of students pursuing
studies in AMU.

The University has not received any communication relating to setting up of
an enquiry either by MHRD or the Visitor. Prof. P.K. Abdul Azis, Vice
Chancellor has set in motion a slew of academic initiatives and put the
University on the track of democratic functioning and transparent
governance.

The senior teachers urged the newspapers to be more careful in carrying out
any such unverified report so that the good name of the University and its
Vice Chancellor is not tarnished. They also strongly deplored the
individuals responsible for misleading the press by selective distortions
and leaks as a personal vendetta which will harm the short term and long
term interest of the University.

The following faculty members were present: Prof. Mohammad Zubair Khan,
Prof. Muslim Taj Ahmad, Prof. Shamim Ahmad, Prof. S.H. Hashmi, Prof. Bilquis
Nasim Waris, Prof. S. Iqbal Ali, Prof. Pervez Mustajab, Prof. Mohammad
Irfan, Prof. Tariq Mansoor, Prof. Mohd. Anis, Dr. Shakeel Samdani and Prof.
Saud Ali Khan.
