Centre opposes Jamia Millia Islamia's religious minority tag
Reversing the previous UPA government's stand, the BJP-led Centre has opposed National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions' order declaring Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia a religious minority institution. The government's affidavit to the Delhi High Court stated the university cannot be deemed a minority institution as it is funded by the Centre and set up under an act of Parliament.
