Students of Aligarh Muslim University’s Women’s College have urged the Education Minister to reinstate their voting rights, saying the exclusion of undergraduate women from the November 5 AMUSU election raises concerns over equal representation.
The university has denied that the students have been disenfranchised. It said all undergraduate women students at the Women’s College will be able to vote in the college union election scheduled for the same day.
The issue centres on the upcoming student polls and whether women undergraduates should participate in the main AMUSU election or vote only in the Women’s College union election. The matter has drawn attention over representation and student rights at the university.
