Aligarh: In a letter to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minsiter Akhilesh Yadav, a Samajwadi Party leader has expressed serious concern over repercussions of the proposed protest by BJP at AMU campus.

The protest centers around a controversy brewed over the birth anniversary celebrations of Raja Mahendra Pratap.

He appealed to the Chief Minister to direct the authorities to take “all necessary precautionary steps to ensure that no one is allowed to take advantage of this controversy.”
