NEW DELHI: There is “nothing political” about NDA government’s decision to withdraw an appeal filed by the UPA government challenging the verdict holding that AMU is not a minority institution, attorney general Mukul Rohatgi has said. “I must tell you that there is nothing political about it. The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) was set up by an Act of Parliament when India was not free... Therefore, it is not correct to say that it was set up by Muslims. There is a judgement of the SC…declaring that the AMU was not a minority institution,” Rohatgi said.
