He pointed out that AMU had "no intention" of allowing any "direct intervention" of political parties inside the campus.
The AMU was not under any sort of pressure from any government agency, he said, adding, the student union enjoyed a certain autonomy within the legal framework of the University's constitution as enshrined by an Act of Parliament.
"No Vice-Chancellor or governing body has ever tried to infringe upon such rights and hence, while we may have different views from the student union on many matters, the AMU authorities have always tried to avoid directly intervening in their matters," he added.
Meanwhile, AMU vice chancellor Tariq Mansoor met home minister Rajnath Singh and discussed with him issues concerning the academic institution, engulfed in controversy over the portrait of Muhammad Ali Jinnah on its premises.
The VC said Jinnah's portrait had been hanging in the AMU students' union office since 1938 and it was a non-issue.
AMU's 1,500 strong teachers' association has described the as academic arm- twisting.
AMUSU, the AMU students' union, too has joined the chorus in voicing its protest against the compromise deal.
AMU's recent controversies, however, have generated unwanted public attention on the university.
Raja Mahendra Pratap over whose birth anniversary celebrations the latest controversy is raging at Aligarh Muslim University ( AMU) was an unlikely royal.
Pratap's family was among the leading donors of AMU.
