Chandigarh, January 3
After dissolution of the Panjab University governing bodies, senate and syndicate, student parties are once again preparing to launch a protest against the authorities. The Student for Society (SFS) has urged various stakeholders to come together to press the authorities for immediate senate elections.
"Unfortunately, the Vice-Chancellor used Covid-19 as an excuse and has been endlessly delaying the election. Even the Punjab and Haryana High Court refused to pass any directive to reign in the autocratic rule of the Vice-Chancellor. Syndicate members allege that the orders were passed without any consultations with them.
"The university's governing body and decision making rest solely in the hands of the Vice-Chancellor which is totally undemocratic and dictatorial. As lakhs of farmers and workers are protesting on streets to force the BJP-RSS to repeal the draconian farm laws, we all must oppose any kind of undemocratic act. Therefore, we must participate wholeheartedly in the protest," says a note issued by the SFS.
This is not the first time that student parties have decided to protest the dissolution of senate and syndicate. Earlier, the NSUI, former student leaders and students had conducted protests to press the authorities for the senate elections. — TNS
