He said the Centre\u2019s retreat is a direct result of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann\u2019s unwavering commitment and persistent efforts to protect Punjab\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>Bhullar said that the Mann Government had strongly opposed the BJP-led Centre\u2019s move to alter the status of Panjab University, calling it irrational, illogical, and an attack on Punjab\u2019s cultural and educational heritage. \u201cChief Minister Bhagwant Mann had made it clear from the very first day that Panjab University belongs to Punjab, emotionally, culturally, and constitutionally. Today, the Centre\u2019s U-turn has vindicated his stand,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister said this victory reminds the nation of how Punjab had earlier defeated the Centre\u2019s arrogance during the farmers\u2019 protest. \u201cOnce again, the collective will and unity of Punjabis have compelled the BJP government to bow before truth and justice,\u201d Bhullar stated.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Mann Government had already prepared to challenge the Centre\u2019s decision in court and made it a constitutional duty to safeguard the state\u2019s rights. \u201cThis is not just about a university, it is about Punjab\u2019s honour,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Appealing to the people of Tarn Taran, Bhullar said, \u201cJust as CM Mann has stood firmly for Punjab\u2019s dignity, people should strengthen his hands by ensuring the victory of AAP candidate Harmeet Singh Sandhu. Tarn Taran must send a strong message, Punjab\u2019s voice can never be silenced.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tarn Taran Election News: Cabinet Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar, while campaigning in the Tarn Taran by-election, today hailed the Central Government\u2019s U-turn on the Panjab University issue as a historic victory of Punjab and Punjabis.
