Contribution towards Muhammad Ali Jauhar University[edit | edit source]
Maulana Ali Jauhar University earlier did not have Minority Status.
In a conversation between Mulyam Singh Yadav and former Governor, the latter commented “ Do you want me to approve the bill related to the University and let one of its doors open in Pakistan? We have already endured the pain of partition by creating Aligarh Muslim University as the university had helped the creation of Pakistan.”
Mulayam Singh passed the essence of the conversation to Azam khan that took place between him and the former Governor of that time. Many witnesses that were present there give details that Azam Khan started crying after hearing this stereotypical approach towards the Muslim Minority. Witness says that Azam Khan prayed to Allah that may Dr. Aziz Qureshi became the Governor of Uttar Pradesh.
On 17 June 2014 Dr Azizi Qureshi became Governor of Uttar Pradesh for five days only. In this short span of time, his secretary got several calls from New Delhi to transfer the files to the Delhi Office. The secretary averted the request and she highlighted that the Governor is currently studying the details of the files.
Officials of the Modi Government try to lure Dr. Qureshi by offering and extending the Governorship for further five more years but Dr. Aziz Qureshi showed strong determination and Character. Dr. Aziz Qureshi signed the Bills which granted the permission of Minority Status to Maulana Ali Jauhar University.
In a public statement once Dr. Qureshi said “They (secular citizens) should save the university by putting their lives at stake and not hesitating to give the last drop of their blood for the cause.
