| Harjot Bains flays centre’s move to dissolve Panjab University senate | | | Early Times Report
Chandigarh, Nov 1: Launching a scathing attack on the BJP-led Central Government for its decision to unilaterally dissolve the 59-year-old Senate and Syndicate of Panjab University, Punjab Education Minister S. Harjot Singh Bains today termed it an brazen attack on Punjab’s pride, democracy and intellect.
S. Harjot Singh Bains stated that it is not governance—it is political vandalism. The reckless move by the Centre tramples on Punjab’s hard-earned autonomy, academic freedom and constitutional rights. It is a blatant assault on the very soul of Punjab.
The Education Minister highlighted the historical and emotional significance of the Panjab University, which has been built and nurtured through decades of Punjab's collective efforts, sweat, intellectual prowess and sacrifices. He questioned the intent behind the abrupt dissolution, pointing to the overwhelming mandate given by the people of Punjab in the last Senate elections.
"How dare the Centre dismantle a six-decade-old democratic institution?” questioned S. Harjot Singh Bains while highlighting that in the last Senate elections for the Graduate Constituency, the people of Punjab elected their own representatives, winning all seats. This was the people's clear verdict. Now, the BJP-led centre government that could not win the confidence at the ballot box wants to handpick its favourites and convert this venerable university into a political playground. |
