Chandigarh, Nov. 5 -- The Punjabi Cultural Council (PCC) has strongly condemned the central government's move to make the Senate and Syndicate of Panjab University ineffective and inanimate and termed it a "deeply objectionable and deliberate attempt" to weaken Punjab's claim over one of its oldest and most prestigious educational institutions.
Advocate Harjeet Singh Grewal, president of the Council said the Centre's decision has deeply hurt the sentiments of Punjabis who take pride in the university's 142-year legacy. He demanded that the original democratic structure of the university should be immediately restored and fresh elections for the Senate and Syndicate be held to uphold the voice of teachers, students, and stakeholders.
