After Jamia Islamia, Religious Conversion Row Rocks Andhra Pradesh University

Amaravati: An incident of alleged religious conversion has surfaced from a university in Andhra Pradesh after Hindu students accused a professor of promoting a minority religion. Hindu students at the Sri Venkateswara University in Tirupati have alleged that a university professor was trying to convert students and favouring a particular minority religion.

According to reports, a heated argument had also taken place between the Hindu students and the professor who is accused of religious conversion.

Though a complaint has been lodged by the students in the matter, an official confirmation as to what action has been taken against the principal is yet to come.

A couple of weeks ago, allegations of religious conversion and harassment of non-Muslim students had surfaced from Delhi's Jamia Millia University when many students alleged that they were being forced to convert.

Earlier, Jamia Millia Islamia University was at the centre of a row in wake of complaints alleging religious conversions taking place at the campus. The matter was highlighted a couple of weeks ago when a student made shocking claims alleging that she was sexually molested, harassed and was being forced to convert her faith by the university administration.

The student also filed a complaint with the Delhi Police, following which a probe was initiated. The accusation sparked an outrage in the university with several groups of students coming out in support of the victim.

According to the student, she was coerced into converting her faith and was subjected to sexual molestation, including her number being circulated on social media, inappropriate touch, and obscene gestures. The student also alleged that she was socially boycotted by the administration and faced harassment on campus.
