Subhash Desai assured the activists of establishing the university in Aurangabad only. A flag hoisting ceremony was held near the MIM office near Nehru Bhavan. MP Imtiaz Jaleel unfurled the tricolour.

MIM district president Abdul Samir Sajid, city unit president Sharekh Nakshabandi and other office-bearers were present. A free all diseases check-up was also organised on Sunday.
