Hyderabad: In a shocking turn of events Maulana Azad
National Urdu University (MANUU) Vice-Chancellor Dr. Mohammad Aslam Parvaiz has
resigned from the post.
According to ‘Telangana Today’, Dr. Parvaiz said that he had
submitted his resignation on personal grounds to the university visitor.
However, MANUU Chancellor, Firoz Bakht Ahmed revealed that some allegations including failure to act on complaints of harassment, appointments to the university, misuse of office and funds were levelled against him. He added that a fact-finding committee constituted by the Ministry of Human Resource Development had probed them.
TT quoted Ahmed as saying, “The VC did not act on the
complaints including ones of harassment levelled by girl students against a
professor.”
Dr. Parvaiz, however, denied the allegations saying “This is
nothing but a fraud and old issues which were cleared in the past are being
unnecessarily brought into limelight.” He asserted that he has resigned from
the post only on personal grounds.
