Hyderabad: The Maulana Azad National Urdu University Students Union has decided to boycott the university’s convocation to be held on Monday.
The university has decided not to not allow any student studying in the university now, and parents of graduating students to participate in the convocation.
President Pranab Mukherjee is the chief guest and Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan and industrialist Rajiv Saraf, who holds the Jashn-e-Rekhta festival that celebrates Urdu poetry will be presented honorary doctorates.
University officials cited space crunch as a problem. One official said, “The parents are not allowed only for the ceremony where the President will be present due to lack of space. It will last for about an hour. They will be allowed for the ceremony in which students will be given medals and certificates by the Chancellor, Mr Zafar Sareshwala.”
