CHANDIGARH, Punjab—Congress leader Sukhjinder Raj Singh (Lali Majithia) has written a letter to the Chief Secretary of Punjab, asking him to publicly share the detailed record about the conversion of Khalsa College into a private University.

Whilst addressing a media conference in Chandigarh, Mr Majithia said that the Punjab government is not providing the College’s attested record – in violation of the Right to Information Act. Mr Majithia said that the public and media want to know about the roles and jurisdiction of Khalsa College’s governing council.

Meanwhile, Sikh24 has learnt that the governing council is already preparing to run Khalsa College as Khalsa University for the upcoming academic year of 2016-17.  The current Khalsa College of Law building will be re-designated for the running of the University’s general tasks. The governing council has already announced to spend Rs. 1000 million (Rs.100 crore) for establishing the new University and colleges related to it.

There is speculation that the Governing Council is keen to establish Khalsa University in order to save its’ expenditures.  This is because a major part of student fees will go to the corresponding University and College affiliations. The governing council has clarified that the current Khalsa College will remain affiliated to Guru Nanak Dev University, whilst the colleges will get affiliated to Khalsa University.

    • ‘RSS Harinder’ (not his real name) openly coming out to declare his support for a fascist totalitarian state. Please do what you feel like doing . You as the Government have all rights with you . If not then change the Laws which suits your need – Hitler would be so proud as he did exactly those three things: Kristallnacht killing of religious minorities, abolishing democracy for a one party state claiming a legal mandate to do so in the Reichstag and implementing the Nuremburg anti-Jewish Race Laws denying rights to Jews and legalising both discrimination and brutal oppression against them. ‘RSS Harinder’ has serious sadomasochism issues to add to his delusional views about what constitutes historical fact and democratic principle.
