Kishanganj, November 06, 2011: MP Maulana Asrarul Haque called the media at Circuit House in Kishanganj today (November 6, 2011) to clarify the recent Sibal – Shahi controversy erupted due to reports published in many newspapers like Hindustan, Times of India, etc. publishing from Bihar. The Press Conference of Maulana Qasmi was intended to present a factual account of Union HRD Minister Kapil Sibal’s stand on the issue of AMU Centre Kishanganj, Bihar. After the meeting of Bihar HRD Minister P K Shahi the media reports said that Sibal had asked for any further step from the Central Government regarding AMU Centre Kishanganj only after the decision of Allahabad High Court on the writ petition against the proposed centre.

However, those who are following the proposal of AMU Special centres and its development are well known about the fact that the Supreme Court had already dismissed the Anti-Centre petition in February, 2011. Maulana Qasmi shared the stand of Kapil Sibal on this issue and his recent meeting with the latter on November 2, 2011 in New Delhi. Even after the publishing of Shahi’s statement in newspapers on November 4, 2011, the Kishanganj MP talked with Kapil Sibal over phone.



As per Maulana Qasmi, the Centre is fully committed to open the Special Centre of AMU in Kishanganj and Sibbal is also providing full support. Shahi had picked only the controversial and negative points from his meeting with Sibal and shared with media, said Maulana Qasmi. In fact, the newspapers had published the reports without caring much about facts and provided the meeting of Shahi – Sibal a controversial angle. Fact is that, there is no any depth in the statement of Shahi published in the newspapers. The HRD Minister of Bihar like his government is not giving proper attention to the logjam and trying to misguide the common people by giving such baseless and illogical statements. As usual I would request the Bihar Government to resolve the issue on immediate basis and allow the development of Bihar.

Besides Maulana Asrarul Haque the Press Conference was attended by Kochadhaman MLA Akhtarul Imaan, former AMU Students Union President Abu Affan Farooque, and other local leaders and activists.

Note: The MP of Kishanganj has ensured the media that his statement should be portrayed as the stand of Kapil Sibal on the AMU Kishanganj issue and baseless statement of Shahi.
