The Aligarh Muslim University Students Union President (AMUSU) Salman Imtiaz, on Friday, 15 February, said invited the children of the martyred CRPF jawans to study in their university and promised that their union will bear the costs.

He made the statement in a condolence meet inside the AMU campus, in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack, in which at least 40 CRPF personnel were killed.

“We extend our full support to the families of the martyred soldiers and we invite their children to study in AMU. The Students Union will bear the costs of their study,” Imtiaz said.

Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has claimed responsibility for the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on Thursday.

Recently, fourteen students of AMU were booked under sedition and eight other charges after separate incidents of scuffle broke out in the campus on Tuesday, 12 February.

The FIR was filed by Aligarh’s Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha President, Mukesh Lodhi, who claims there were “Pakistan Zindabad” slogans being raised by the accused students after an altercation with Republic TV journalists on Tuesday morning. However, he could not provide any proof of his claims.
