Indian state orders demolition of university founded by Muslim politician

Authorities in Uttar Pradesh, ruled by the BJP, have ordered the demolition of 38 buildings at Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, founded by prominent Muslim leader Azam Khan, alleging they were built illegally. An interim stay has paused the August 5 deadline but not cancelled the order. Students, alumni, and residents are staging a sit-in protest, with tensions high in the Muslim-majority district.
