The Hindu fundamentalists will miss no opportunity in pointing an accusing finger that the Murshidabad centre has become a breeding ground for anti-Indian elements with the support of the neighbouring Muslim country, Bangladesh. The Hindu fundamentalists in the country have always been accusing AMU and holding it responsible for the partition of the country in 1947.
They always accused Muslim youths of hand in glove with Bangladeshi militants to create terror activities in India. Though it has never been proved true yet the AMU initiative could provide enough stuff to the Sangh propaganda mill.
According to reports Bangladesh has desired to build strong synergy with the Murshidabad centre of the AMU because of its locational advantage, and linguistic and cultural affinity.
The Bangladesh High Commissioner to India Tarique A Kareem met the AMU Vice Chancellor PK Abdul Azis in Aligarh last Saturday and suggested that the his 
country has made “remarkable advancements” in agricultural research and these could be transferred to AMU for the benefit of Indian farmers. As a result of agriculture researches the farmers in Bangladesh now cultivate three crops in a year.
The AMU Vice Chancellor, out of his over enthusiasm, went a step ahead and assured of all possible help in promoting mutually beneficial initiatives between the varsity and the academic institutions of Bangladesh. He invited the visiting dignitary to deliver lectures in the area of conflict resolution and international affairs.
The Bangladesh High Commissioner made an offer from transfer of farm technologies to India through AMU. He should know that India is more advanced in researches in farm technologies than Bangladesh or any country in South Asia. In South Asia, Green Revolution first took place in India and as a result of which farmers went for inter-cropping, sowing three cycles of crops in a year and achieved self-sufficiency in food and fibre. In agriculture India has more to offer to Bangladesh than it can offer to India.
The Bangladesh High Commissioner visited the Maulana Azad Library and was impressed by the manuscripts and the volume of books in the library. He said the AMU must make special efforts to preserve the manuscripts, which are a great heritage of the community.
The library has two lakh digital books and over 13 lakh conventional books. He said the process of setting up a digital resource centre has been initiated.
Describing it as one of the Asia’s biggest libraries, he said that five thousand students visit the library daily.NAK Durrani, media advisor, who had accompanied the high commissioner, observed the Aligarh model of education, which offers education from nursery to post-doctoral level, is a unique example of holistic approach promoting knowledge along with the character building. All these good works of AMU are likely to be eclipsed by the cloud of controversy.
Murshidabad borders Bangladesh and that country’s direct involvement in the new AMU centre there may raise many eyebrows and create doubts about Muslim community in the country.
