SRINAGAR:PDP leader Iltija Mufti on Thursday termed the celebrations in Jammu over the closure of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence in Reasi “heights of bigotry”.

“Heights of bigotry is Jammu celebrating the closure of a medical college only because it paved opportunities for Muslim students,” Mufti said in a post on X.

The PDP leader was reacting to the celebrations in the Jammu region after the Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) on Tuesday withdrew the letter of recognition granted to the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence for “non-compliance with minimum standards”.
