जम्मू यूनिवर्सिटी में जिन्ना से जुड़े टॉपिक्स हटाने की सिफारिश: अल्पसंख्यकों का नेता बताया; नए सिलेबस में जिन्ना, सर सैयद और इकबाल को जोड़ा था

It has been recommended to remove topics related to Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan and Mohammad Iqbal from the syllabus of MA Political Science in Jammu University. This recommendation has been made by the Departmental Affairs Committee (DAC). Now the final decision on this will be taken in the meeting of the Board of Studies on March 24.

According to the university, a DAC meeting was held in the HOD office on March 22. In this, the syllabus of one-year and two-year MA Political Science program was discussed. In the meeting, it was unanimously recommended to remove topics related to Jinnah, Sir Syed and Iqbal.

Now this proposal has been sent to the Board of Studies, whose meeting will be held online on March 24 at 11:30 am.

Controversy arose after adding Jinnah in the syllabus

The controversy started after Jinnah’s political views were included in the Political Science syllabus under the paper ‘Minorities and the Nation’.

Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) had demonstrated in the university on Saturday and demanded immediate removal of these topics. The organization said that national sentiments and historical facts cannot be ignored in the name of academic freedom.

ABVP Jammu and Kashmir State Secretary Sannak Shrivatsa said that earlier Jinnah was mentioned in the context of ‘Two-Nation Theory’, where he was linked to the idea of ​​partition.

Now in the revised syllabus, he has been presented as a leader of minorities under ‘Minorities and the Nation’, which is being objected to.

Congress leader said- controversy is being created deliberately

Senior Congress leader and JKPCC general secretary Namrata Sharma said that the controversy regarding the syllabus is being deliberately created.

He said that this part related to Jinnah, Savarkar and Golwalkar was included in the draft syllabus prepared in 2025, but no question was raised on it for 11-12 months. Now suddenly it is being made an issue.

Namrata Sharma also raised questions about whether the university administration and the academic team led by Vice Chancellor Umesh Rai had not properly scrutinized the syllabus when it was prepared.
