My Friend Badruddin Qureshi made up his mind to contest for the post of PRESIDENT in 1992 JMISU election.
One of the costliest election in the history of Universities all around the world as reported by BBC London.
He called me to come back to the campus & join hands with others for the big day.
I left my job & join the campaign, He was the most favourite & won the election by record margin.
After election, I joined Unitech & starts packing my bags to travel by train.
All of my friends came to see me off at railway station, some how Badruddin qureshi saheb stuck in the traffic jam & delayed.
We were waiting eagerly on the platform for him to join & then train start moving.
We saw Badruddin Qureshi rushing towards the train, so, two of our friends quickly ran towards the guard waving the green signal.
They ordered him to stop the train immediately.He was surprised but somehow after understanding the arrival of a dignitary he stopped the train.
Badar bhai came, we talked for a while among the crowd looking at us.
He then signalled guard to go ahead.
By the time guard understand the whole truth, they all were out from the platform & i was inside.
Altough what we did was wrong, but some how it was a small glimpse of STUDENT POWER.
I will always remember that.
