Around 4,000 women students at Aligarh Muslim University’s Women’s College have been denied voting rights in the Aligarh Muslim University Students’ Union (AMUSU) elections, according to the report. The issue has sparked concerns over gender discrimination and unequal representation on campus.

The students’ demand to be included in the university-wide electoral process has renewed scrutiny of the separate-union rules that govern student politics at AMU. The matter has also highlighted the barriers women face in campus political participation.

The development comes as questions continue over the structure of representation in the university’s student union system. The students’ campaign for voting rights remains part of the broader debate on gender equality in campus politics.
