Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has taken action against Assistant Professor Arimardan Singh Pal, removing him from his teaching responsibilities. This decision came after complaints surfaced about Pal allegedly using offensive language directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The professor, who is part of the Sanskrit department, will not be allowed to teach while a formal investigation is carried out. Additionally, a case has been filed against him as a result of the complaints.
The situation gained attention when social media posts showing the professor using inappropriate language about the two political leaders were widely circulated. This caused strong reactions and resulted in numerous calls for the university to take disciplinary measures against Pal. In response, the university administration acted quickly, removing him from his teaching duties and beginning an official inquiry. This investigation will look into the specifics of the accusations and consider Pal’s side of the story to determine the next course of action.
According to a university spokesperson, the matter is being taken very seriously and is currently under investigation. It is also worth noting that Arimardan Singh Pal is the son of Shyam Lal Pal, the state president of the Samajwadi Party, which adds a political dimension to the controversy. AMU has made it clear that this kind of behavior is against the university’s rules and will not be accepted. This move shows the university’s dedication to maintaining appropriate conduct and dealing with complaints promptly.
