Zafar Sareshwala- Chancellor of Maulana Azad National Urdu University |
Jan 03, 2015
Zafar Sareshwala, notorious for siding with Modi, for being face of Modi's "Muslim" support, which Modi badly needed ever since the 2002 Gujarat Anti-Muslim pogrom, has been appointed Chancellor of Maulana Azad National Urdu University, Hyderabad.
Sareshwala, was fined by The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). They even cancelled his company’s broker registration, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said, "Parsoli is not a fit and proper person to act as an intermediary in the Indian securities market".
It is stupid to think that this must have been the only "reward" he must have got for being a Modi sycophant, but this "reward" hurts hard. In July 2014 Economic Times reported how Sareshwala's brother built a Rs 200 crore business in 5 years.
The Ministry of Human Resource and Development which oversees educational institutions in India has been continuously attempting or the other of saffronisation of education or displaying blatant interference in their functioning. Some see Sareshwala would be used to help this agenda of the BJP government. Others think sending Sareshwala to Hyderabad, bastion of the Owaisi brothers, may be to make political in-roads into their solid vote-bank.
Here are some reactions of netizens while Maulana Azad must be turning in his grave:

Corrupt businessman Sareshwala qualifying as sycophant of Modi made Chancellor of public funded Maulana Azad National Urdu University. Modi govt's assault on education expands! — Meera Ahmad, Delhi
5 Takeaways from Sareshwala appointment:
1. Loyalty to the great leader and not merit counts under the current dispensation.
2. The government is in no mood to placate the fears of the Muslim community.
3. The government us determined to show who is in control and wants to rub it in your face.
4. The government is not serious about promoting Urdu.
5. The appointment of a political wheeler and dealer will encourage even more corruption at MANUU.
