Amidst the controversy over the missing portrait of a Pakistan founder, Muhammed Ali Jinnah in the student's union hall of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) several political parties and Sangh leaders leaves no chance in digging up into the matter. Recently, the national chief of the All-India Muslim Mahasangh, Farhat Ali Khan on Friday announced Rs 1 lakh reward for destroying Jinnah posters.

Speaking to ANI, the Muslim Mahasangh chief, Farhat Ali Khan said that no organisation in Pakistan must be having Indian leaders photos, who fought for the independence, and same should be followed in India for Pakistani leaders.

I appeal everyone to tear and burn down posters of Jinnah and people like him. I announce a reward of Rs 1 Lakh cash for the one who burns down the poster," Khan said.

The Muslim Mahasangh chief further stated that Muslims in India hate both Jinnah and Pakistan.

The Saffron party's Aligarh MP Satish Gautam was the first to raise the question on the presence of the Jinnah’s portrait in the office, which has been installed for decades. The matter caught fire soon as the protests took place outside the university campus triggering massive clashes between AMU students and the police, leaving several injured on Thursday.

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Tariq Mansoor, visited injured students at the hospital and those agitating at Baab-e-Sayyed.

Amidst protests, Section 144 of the CrPC (Code of Criminal Procedure) was imposed in Aligarh and internet services were suspended till midnight to prevent the communal flare-up.
