The tussle between Khan and UP Minister of State Baldev Singh Aoulakh started when the latter expressed his resolve to hold a Janta Darbar in a guest house located in the premises of the varsity which is owned by the Samwadi Party leader.
Allegations of irregularities had been raised about the construction of the university a few months earlier. Demands had also been made to launch a probe into its functioning, income and expenditure.
Khan at a meeting of party workers had yesterday said, "The guest house in the Jauhar University would be blown up using dynamite if anybody attempted to lay a hand on any part of the institution."
Reacting to Khan's remarks today, Aoulakh said that this matter would be brought to the notice of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and and a probe would be launched to find out what arms and ammunition the former minister possessed.
