Serious Allegations Of SC/ST Harassment Against JNU’s Prof. Mazhar Asif; Concerns Over His Candidacy As Jamia Millia Islamia VC

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Professor Mazhar Asif faces allegations of severe caste-based harassment against Reena, a Scheduled Tribe (ST) employee. The complaint, reviewed by JNU authorities, accuses Asif of deliberately giving Reena low grades, blocking promotions, and favoring ineligible candidates during his tenure as Associate Dean. The case raises concerns over his potential appointment as Vice-Chancellor of Jamia Millia Islamia.

Serious Questions Over Asif’s Potential Appointment as VC

Reena fought the injustice in Delhi High Court and the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes. After an independent review, her grades were revised from 5.5 to 8.66, proving unjust actions by Asif. Despite this, Asif has managed to suppress the case through political and personal connections. His candidacy for Jamia’s Vice-Chancellor now raises serious concerns for SC/ST students and staff.

Calls for Action and Accountability

The case brings up crucial questions about the leadership of central universities. There are growing calls for the government and judiciary to take strict action against Prof. Asif to ensure that casteism and discrimination have no place in educational institutions.
