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?
@AamAadmiParty@Inc4PANJAB@BJP4Punjab@Akali_Dal_@SAD__Amritsar
.@1158APFront5aab has stated that today again #Punjab education minister #HarjotSinghBains failed to hold meeting with them, which was consecutive 7th occasion when meeting could not materialise as earlier meeting we’re not held on Feb 6,13, 24,27, March 20 & 26, even after fixing these meetings
Today,@iSidhuMooseWala’s father echoed a powerful message his son once shared about Punjab’s future.
The strength of our youth lies in quality higher education—not in short-term freebies.
The urgent need to strengthen govt colleges and complete the long-pending #1158recruitment
Punjab’s education and health institutions have been systematically weakened, allowing private institutions to benefit.
For 25 years, professors were not recruited for government colleges in Punjab. Even when recruitment was finally initiated, the process was not allowed to be completed. How can our public institutions compete with private ones under such circumstances? #Justice_For_1158
.@AAPPunjab prioritizes ₹1,000–1,500 schemes for vote-bank politics over selected #1158AssistantProfessorAndLibrarians—adult women who have waited for years for their rightful job
These women can earn with dignity and contribute to society,yet #Justice_For_1158 is still delayed
From PTIs to Research Assistants, lecturers to senior assistants, Assistant Profs to Psychologists, many of recruitments either cancelled or withdrawn or unduly delayed after process put in motion, mostly due to litigations in last over 4 years, many recruitments initiated during previous Cong govt
