The AMU Alumni Forum in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has submitted a memorandum to the Consulate General of India in the country demanding prompt action against right wing activists who entered into the varsity's campus on May 2 and allegedly indulged in an "unprovoked attack" on students.

The memorandum, addressed to the President of India, claimed the "armed hooligans" were planning to attack former vice president Hamid Ansari, who was visiting the AMU campus.

President of the forum, Syed Qutubur Rahman, said similar memorandums were being sent to the President from different AMU alumni associations all over the middle-east.

Similar memorandums condemning the police lathi charge have been sent from alumni associations in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia, USA, South Korea and New Zealand, he said.
