Akhilesh hits out at BJP over demolition notice to University linked with Azam Khan
Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav and Bhim Army chief Chandra Shekhar Azad have criticized the Rampur Development Authority's demolition notice issued to the Mohammad Ali Jauhar University. They argue the move is a politically motivated act of communal targeting rather than a legitimate administrative action.
