Aligarh: The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is once again at the center of a controversy after a video went viral on social media showing students dressed in National Cadet Corps (NCC) uniform chanting religious slogans during a Republic Day event outside the university campus. The viral video shows a group of AMU students, clad in NCC uniform, purportedly chanting ‘Allah-hu-Akhbar’ (God Is Great) after the hoisting of the Tricolour on campus, outside Strachey Hall.

After the video went viral, the Aligarh District administration ordered the police to probe the matter and urged the AMU management to take action against the students who raised slogans. “The university has been directed to take cognizance of the incident," Aligarh SP City Kuldeep Singh Gunawat said.
