jammu, Dec 10: Some people are so publicity hungry that they can go to any extent to remain in news. Former Director Information, Khawaja Farooq Renzu is one of them. He hogged the headlines almost daily last year by trumpeting his proximity with shrines and saints but saw his `sheen' fading away in the Srinagar Development Authority (SDA) which he now heads. To remain in news he made the gullible people of Kashmir believe that his Urdu Novel Zakhmoon Ki Salgirah had been included in the M Phil syllabus of Central University Hyderabad.
Not knowing that no syllabus is prescribed anywhere at M Phil stage, people, organizations and even journalists congratulated Renzu (who likes to prefix Shah to his name) through paid advertisements in local dailies.
However, the lie came to fore this evening when Ashish the PRO of the Central University, Hyderabad emailed the factual position to Early Times. The email reads: "With reference to press release in circulation, that Central University of Hyderabad has prescribed a book of some Kashmiri author Renzu Shah in the syllabus, I spoke to the head of our Urdu department, Professor Ehsas Baig.
No such book is prescribed in M.Phil syllabus. The press release issued from the e-mail Farooq Renzushah [email protected] is malicious and misleading. The act of some publicity hungry person circulating the mail and using the name of University of Hyderabad is most disparaging in intent. The University clarifies that no such book has been prescribed for the syllabus at any stage.
At the stage of research, candidate who wishes to do the research selects the topic. The University has no role in it. Only methodology and procedure is laid down by the University. The University is still looking at the issue and will inquire, if the scholar on his own has chosen the book.
The Institution will take judicial recourse if such acts of using the name of University for the sake of publicity are not stopped and due public apology is not tendered."
Professor Baig while talking to Early Times said a student, Maqbool Ahmad wanted to do research on Renzu's novel and we allowed him. "This has been presented in a wrong way. No books are prescribed at the level of M Phil", he said. |
