#PSPCL2600 apprentice candidates completed their training & waited for recruitment opportunities,but many feel their experience has been ignored.
Their ongoing protest in Patiala is a demand for fair consideration,transparency,justice for thousands of trained youth.
@BhagwantMann
When those entrusted with delivering justice fail to reform a system burdened by delay, inequality and growing public distrust and then choose to mock #unemployedyouth instead of acknowledging institutional shortcomings, such statements expose not the weakness of the younger generation but the moral and administrative failure within the judiciary itself.

Before elections, they chanted "We stand with 1158." After elections, the same leaders shrug and say "It's a court issue." The mic changed, but the struggle didn't. These 1158 individuals didn't vote for excuses they voted for dignity, justice, and action. A promise made on a stage doesn't expire the moment the votes are counted. If you had the courage to take credit before elections, have the accountability to deliver after. Silence is not governance. Deflection is not leadership. The people are watching and they remember every word. 👇 Tag those responsible. Share until it reaches every corner of Punjab.

In 2022, after becoming Punjab’s Education Minister, @meet_hayer Hayer shifted stance—dismissing pre-election promises as “Congress-era recruitment issues” stuck in court. But let’s not forget:
In 2021, #1158AssistantProfessorAndLibrarians were recruited on merit with transperancy. Selected candidates formed the “1158 Assistant Professor & Librarians Front” to demand rightful appointments.
Before 2022 elections, AAP leaders—including CM @BhagwantMann & MLAs—promised to resolve this on priority, protect the 1158 recruitment in court and appoint candidates to revive govt colleges suffering from a 25-year hiring drought.
Reality after coming to power? Peaceful protesting Professors outside Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer ’s residence faced brutal lathi-charge. Gold medalists beaten. A disabled candidate assaulted—fingers, ankel broken. This exposed the harsh truth of @AamAadmiParty.
Punjab’s govt colleges still lack regular faculty. Institutions are running on students’ fees & PTA funds, even paying teacher salaries from them. Is this the “education revolution”?
In 4 years, not a single regular new teacher recruitment advertisement for schools or colleges.
Claims of “12,000 teachers regularized”?
In reality, salaries raised from ₹6000 to ₹18000—still far below ~₹50000 of regular teachers. A cruel compromise, not justice.
This isn’t governance—it’s betrayal of educated youth, erosion of public education and broken promises. Punjab deserves accountability.

Aam Aadmi Party’s ‘#SikhyaKranti’: New Labels, Old Neglect in the Politics of Education Revolution”
Rebranding without reform is not change—it’s repetition with better PR.
From Adarsh Schools (Captain govt) to Meritorious Schools (Badal govt) to now “Schools of Eminence” under Bhagwant Mann, the promise was “different politics.” The reality remains the same: not one of these models has been backed by permanent teacher recruitment.
While @harjotbains and the CM @BhagwantMann frequently highlight NEET/JEE successes, those results largely come from Meritorious Schools—where the very teachers delivering them have waited over 4 years for regularization, with repeated assurances but no policy. Despite being chairman of the governing body, the CM Bhagwant Mann has not held even a single meeting with the Meritorious Teachers’ Union @MTU_PUNJAB
“Schools of Eminence” appear to be more about repainting and renaming, while teachers are simply shifted from other schools—no new posts created, no fresh recruitment.
The implied model: shut down many schools, selectively upgrade a few, and market them as an “Education Revolution.”
Ground reality: out of approximately 1950 government senior secondary schools in Punjab, over 1000 operate without principals.
In Sangrur alone, the CM Bhagwant Mann’s own district, 65 of 95 schools function without a principal.
If this is a “Sikhya Kranti,” it is one of presentation—not policy.

For last four years, 1158 young professors & librarians have been protesting for station allocation, and one of them died by suicide, holding Pb Edu Min @harjotbains responsible for her death.
Y’day, when they went to Patiala to peacefully protest against CM @BhagwantMann, they were beaten by police, & 80 of them were dragged to police station.
In Gujarat, @ArvindKejriwal speaks about police atrocities against AAP volunteers, but in Panjab, his own government has turned state into a police state. @ravish_journo@dhruv_rathee
पटियाला में मुख्य मंत्री @BhagwantMann जी की रैली के दौरान 1158 सहायक प्रोफेसरों व लाइब्रेरियन फ्रंट का शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन, लेकिन जवाब में लाठी और गिरफ्तारियां!
गुरुद्वारा दुख निवारण साहिब के पास एकत्र हुए शिक्षकों पर पुलिस कार्रवाई, करीब 80 प्रोफेसर और लाइब्रेरियन को जबरन उठाकर सिविल लाइंस थाने ले जाया गया।
उच्च शिक्षा मंत्री @harjotbains द्वारा 1158 सहायक प्रोफेसर व लाइब्रेरियन फ्रंट के साथ 7 बार बैठक से इनकार किया गया, रोजगार की स्थिरता की मांग लंबित—क्या यही “शिक्षा क्रांति” है?
जब तक जायज़ मांगें पूरी नहीं होतीं, संघर्ष जारी रहेगा। जवाब दीजिए सी एम् साहब।

CM @BhagwantMann Govt Detains #1158AssistantProfessorAndLibrarians Front members Over Education Reform Protest
At around 6 AM today, the police administration detained Assistant Professor Himanshu, Dr. Kuldeep Singh and Shamsher Gill of the 1158 Assistant Professors & Librarians Front, taking them to Police Station City Faridkot—simply for demanding a meeting and fulfillment of long-pending promises by @PbGovtIndia.
After repeated assurances and backtracking, is this the response of the @AAPPunjab government led by CM Bhagwant Mann?
Why fear dialogue with educators asking for #Justice_For_1158?

Swati Pathak, student of Govt College for Girls Ludhiana, condemns today’s manhandling of #1158AssistantProfessorAndLibrarians demanding promised jobs.
Before them, there were not enough regular professors; now that they are available, why does the @AAPPunjab government not want to save them?
CM @BhagwantMann, at your Patiala rally today, will you answer why teachers are being pushed to unemployment under your education model?
