#BREAKING: The Ministry of Education has withdrawn its earlier order that changed the constitution and composition of the Senate and Syndicate of Panjab University.
The move follows extensive feedback from students, teachers, former & current VCs, and student bodies, who raised concerns after the order was issued.
After reviewing all inputs, the Ministry decided that the previous notification stands rescinded.

Farm groups will join students to protest Modi government’s takeover of Panjab University.
Earlier @BhagwantMann’s govt lathi-charged, detained, and house-arrested farmers for protesting against Modi … and did the same to unemployed youth demanding jobs.
After our #1158Recruitment was quashed by the Supreme Court,
we came here at CM RESIDENCE Sangrur on July 18
That day, we were promised that all legal remedies — modification, review petition, curative — would be pursued.
But even after 2 months of filing the modification, no review petition was filed (which should’ve been done within a month).
The @PbGovtIndia@AAPPunjab@CMOPbIndia Higher Education Minister @harjotbains show no concern that one full recruitment stands cancelled. #1158AssistantProfessorAndLibrarians and their families are now on the streets.
The Chief Minister @BhagwantMann Sahab, hasn't uttered a single word. The Higher Education Minister has failed to stand by his own statements.
How can we trust them now?
We are left with no choice but to take to the streets.

Many don’t know, the campaign by 1158 professors is the last stand to stop govt colleges from privatization and to keep education affordable.
Instead of supporting them, CM @BhagwantMann and his ‘Delhi Model’ masters are busy with ads & propaganda. Y’day, youngsters held a peaceful protest, 20 were detained, many mishandled, and as usual @harjotbains is silent.
Assistant profs in a relentless fight to save their jobs even after Supreme Court quashed the recruitment, on the roads. @1158APFront5aab says @PbGovtIndia had promised to file a Review Petition in the Supreme Court on Aug 18, after the protest they been given panel meeting Sep 18
#1158AssistantProfessorAndLibrarians Front – Punjab will protest at CM @BhagwantMann’s residence, Sangrur — Aam Aadmi Party's capital — against broken promises & betrayal after the Supreme Court verdict.
The @PbGovtIndia had promised to:
👉File a #ReviewPetition_1158
👉Present a strong legal case
👉Explore all options to save 1158 UGC-NET, JRF, PhD, Post-Doc qualified assistant professors and librarians — appointed through a transparent process.
Yet, the @AAPPunjab government did nothing beyond PR & empty assurances.
