Jamia Vice-Chancellor Prof Mushrul Hasan met Singh to apprise him of the decision of the university to provide legal aid to the two students, a move criticised by the BJP.
"There is nothing wrong in providing legal aid. In this case, I have got full details. Whatever Mushirul Hasan told me, I understand in this context, the decision of the university is in the interest of the nation," Singh said.
BJP has demanded dismissal of the Vice-Chancellor and termed the decision as ‘atrocious, anti-national and highly objectionable’.
After meeting the minister, Hasan said BJP's allegation that the university was diverting the government funds for providing legal aid was ‘baseless’.
"Providing legal aid is the decision of the Academic Council. Legal aid is the constitutional right of every person. We stand by our decision. There is no question of my resignation," he said.
Noting that the classes have been running smoothly and the recent incidents have not affected the confidence of students, he said, "the confidence of students has gone up after my interaction and peace march in the campus".
Appealing to political parties not to politicise the issue, Hasan said, "if it is politicised, the repercussion will not be good".
Asked whether he was facing any threat, Hasan said it should not affect the ‘principle’.

Arjun Singh owes his post in the cabinet not due to his merit but due to being a willing slave of the Italian Empress. He is trying to be in the good books of the Madam by making a show seulalrism.
We can not expect any thing more than this from this old man. He is running the ministrey on his own and reporting to the cabinet or PM is a farce. Yesterday we had another one like this in the garb of labour minister,Oscar. PM is on a damage controle mode that too frm a foreign soil. Before that the fashion parade and catwalk of the home minister through the serial blast. Nothing affects this govt and they are on brisk clearance sell before closing the shutter. For funding leagal aid to the alleged terrorists, this money could have channeled for the education of so many deserving poor muslim students .
I think Mr Arjun singh also a criminal.How can he gives such kind of permission .Terrorist must be punished and they should to get even bail.University authority must be punished because they are supporting terrorist,so they are terrorist too and they must be hanged to death.Muslims are getting support by some polical parties and they should be rejected by the people of India.India is for
Of course.. and it had to came from Arjun Singh. I don't think he and Mulayam have much problem with terrorism itself.
Legal Aid like Medical Aid is the right of all citizens. If it is being provided to suspected terrorist by a Govt organisation it just adds the dignity of Indian Democracy. Let all help be provided and if after that any one is found guilty at least award the punishment given by the court. It is sad that UPA does not have the courage even to do that in the parliament attack case.
UPA government leaders are ISI agents who are ruling the country under the cover of islamic secularism. We pray from Lord Ram that these congress,commies and secular party leaders become victims of islamic terrorism then they will understand others pain and suffering. Arjun Singh is a mulla minded minister and can go to any extent to appease muslim terrorists.
Police should investigate the involvement by the VC
what a misfortune for Taliban - they do not have luminary sympathisers like arjun and hasan. otherwise they would have long back conquered all the lands occupied by the infidels.
Sonia madam give a break to Arjun Singh. He seems to be out of his rational thinking.
what a sigh of relief for muslims and their tentacles. The former already had a godfather in democractically rejected arjun singh and now their tentacles have a one in Hasan. If Atif and his innocent companions who are being victimized for killing infidels and only one police inspector, and now provided legal aid out of my tax money, who will provide the aid to the innocents arrested in Orissa, Karnataka. Mr Hasan is so absorbed in the duties of faith and the followers that he comes to know of his innocent students only when caught in their dens. And not if they do not attend classes, do not appear for the exams because for the faithful this is no compulsion.
jamia mili is beongs gorakhpur also there is many boys taking degree but whole thing is the university know every thing abt there activity so first we should catch to all univ concern people ....................agar dal tod fekna hai to pehle jad ko ukhado
Its is heights of non sense. Such a move will only degrade our anti terrorist forces and encourage more terrorism. It is better that CONGRESS CONTESTS THE ELECTIONS IN PAKISTAN. I AM SURE THEY WILL THERE THROW THEM OUT OF BHARAT.
Why are we against legal aid to these suspects? Do we think they will get away if there is a lawyer defending them in court? Is our legal system and the police work so weak that the only way to punish terrorists is by denying them a good lawyer? Ram Jethmalani (then an active BJP member) had defended the killers of Indira Gandhi as their lawyer. The BJP made him a minister when it came to power later on. Why are they now against the university offering legal aid to its students? In fact, it is important that these terrorists get death sentence after a good lawyer has tried his best to save them. Otherwise they will get sympathy and the enemies of the country will use it do spread more terrorism among Muslim youth like they are using Afzal Guru's case. This is not a Hindu-Muslim issue, it is a pro-India v/s anti-India issue and Hindu fundamentalists are as much anti-India as Muslim terrorists.
The HRD minister says \"its in the country\'s interest\" which country is he talking about ..... surely its not in India\'s interest. Any responsible patriotic indian should boycott this university which is harbouring and nuturing terrorists.......What appalls me is that the VC has suggested such an action and there is no reaction what soever by the students movements of the Jamia University...It is a shameful affair.... DOWN DOWN Jamia University
Dear arjun singh jee as i know court will provide legal aid to those person why university
Why the VC is so soft cornered towards the terrorists, I dont understand. Is he the god father of IM?? There is every possibilities of this. This Muslims can do any thing and every thing when coming to against our Mother Land. This VC should know that the fund which the University is getting from Govt is not his fathers or Arjun singh\'s. If he wants to give legal aid to the terorists then ask him to send his family members to go for prostitutioan and raise the fund for this..
This is the most shameless thing ever happening in India. This govt has lost credibility and confidene of Indian people.
Arjun Singh is not exactly known for doing any thing in the national interest.His utterances regarding reservations to minorities etc were aimed at creating a rift among the indians.With age his abilities to think logically seem to have drastically weakened.It is best to ignore him and let the situation take its course.
Everyone has the right to be provided legal help. That has to be provided by the Govt and not the college. It sets a bad precedent as Religion seems to be over-riding all other consideration. Backlash can't be ruled out and if it happened, there would be a justification behind it.
Here comes the churat loterry fame man with his wonderful insane ideas nobody knows what will happen if such people are still at the helm God save India.
Vice-Chancellor Mushril should be dismissed, his decision as is ‘atrocious, anti-national and highly objectionable’. This will set a wrong precedent in India
Poeple who vote for congress should be ashamed of themselves and should atone for the thier sins.
shame on you Mr.hasan.We all know Mr.Arjun singh who can barely walk.we should not surprize on his support.both of them deserve punishment for suporting terrorism.Mr Hasan, why dont you openly give support to every terrirists,rather you should make a "SAVE TERRORIST,HELP TERRORIST" fund
This fellow is a nut.
This man Arjun Singh of Churat Lottery fame has gone insane how can he support the cause ?
