Punjab E News:<\/span> The BJP government at the Center tried to crush Punjab by suddenly issuing a notification to dissolve Punjab University\u2019s Senate, but Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and the Aam Aadmi Party hit back so hard that it shook Delhi\u2019s seats of power. Thousands of ASAP students took to the streets in Chandigarh and across Punjab, openly challenging the BJP – \u201cPunjab will not be suppressed!\u201d Now this is not just a university matter, it has become a battle for Punjab\u2019s honor and pride.<\/p>\n

The scene on Chandigarh\u2019s streets on Tuesday was proof of Punjab\u2019s strength. ASAP students and AAP workers staged such a powerful protest against the BJP government that the message reached the central government that Punjab stands united. The slogans echoed – \u201cThe looting of Punjab\u2019s rights will not be tolerated!\u201d Thousands of youth standing together were shouting that Punjab University is our heritage, and no outside force will take control of it. Protesters held placards that read – \u201cNot by force, Punjab\u2019s institutions are not yours!\u201d This was not just a protest, it was Punjab\u2019s self-respect speaking.<\/p>\n

The central government issued an order to dissolve Punjab University\u2019s Senate without any prior notice. AAP alleges this is not an administrative decision but a well-planned conspiracy through which the BJP wants to establish its control over Punjab\u2019s most prestigious educational institution. Punjab University, which has been Punjab\u2019s educational and cultural identity since 1882, was suddenly targeted. AAP leaders said this is the same method BJP uses in every state where it doesn\u2019t have a government – first weaken the institutions, then install your own people. But this time Punjab has the Bhagwant Mann government that is ready to fight for every inch of land.<\/p>\n

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann directly warned the BJP that the language of force will not work with Punjab. He said – \u201cPunjab University is not just a building, it is Punjab\u2019s soul. Revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh came from here, Punjab got its leadership from here. It is our duty to maintain this institution and our dharma to protect it.\u201d CM Mann made it clear that the Punjab government will not compromise on this matter and whatever steps need to be taken will be taken. His message was – \u201cBJP has targeted the wrong state. Punjab is that land which does not bow, does not get suppressed, and fights till its last breath for its rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

ASAP students staged sit-ins at every college connected to Punjab University. Patiala, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Bathinda – youth came out on the streets in every city. Protest meetings were held on campuses. Students said that if we quietly let Punjab University go today, then tomorrow our other institutions will also be taken over. A student leader said – \u201cWe are the new generation of Punjab and we know how to claim our rights. BJP must be thinking what can students do, but we will show that when youth awaken, governments change.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Aam Aadmi Party has made this issue not just political but a people\u2019s movement. Senior party leaders boosted students\u2019 morale by joining the protests and gave a clear message that the Punjab government stands with its people. The head of AAP\u2019s Chandigarh unit said – \u201cThis is not just AAP\u2019s fight, this is the fight of all of Punjab. We will not let our university become a victim of anyone\u2019s plunder. BJP thinks that having a government at the Center means they can do anything, but in Punjab, the people and the people\u2019s government are one.\u201d The party also ran a strong campaign on social media and made #SavePunjabUniversity trend.<\/p>\n

AAP\u2019s student wing ASAP proved that Punjab\u2019s youth is no longer going to sit quietly. The organization\u2019s workers protested with complete strategy – disciplined, peaceful but powerful. ASAP\u2019s state president said – \u201cWe are the generation that doesn\u2019t ask for its rights, it snatches them. BJP must have thought youth only make noise on social media, but we showed that when it comes to Punjab, we also come out on the streets.\u201d ASAP announced that if the decision to dissolve the Senate is not withdrawn within three days, there will be a chakka jam (road blockade) across Punjab. This unity and fighting spirit of students has given new energy to AAP as well.<\/p>\n

The history of Punjab University is the history of Punjab\u2019s struggle. Revolutionaries like Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev came from here, Punjab got intellectuals and leaders from here. This institution is Punjab\u2019s identity and attempts to capture it are an attack on Punjab\u2019s soul. A senior AAP leader said – \u201cBJP should understand that Punjab is that land where fighting for rights is in the blood. People here know how to raise their voice against injustice. Trying to touch Punjab University means challenging all of Punjab.\u201d That\u2019s why this issue is no longer just educational, it has become a question of Punjab\u2019s autonomy and respect.<\/p>\n

The Aam Aadmi Party has given a final warning to BJP that attempts to forcibly capture Punjab\u2019s institutions will fail. A party spokesperson said – \u201cWe are not a weak government that will bend under pressure. The people of Punjab chose us because we have the courage to fight for their rights. BJP thinks that having power at the Center means they can do anything, but Punjab has democracy and here the voice of the people is supreme.\u201d AAP also made it clear that if the matter is not resolved, this movement will intensify. The party said this battle will be fought with every student, teacher, and citizen of Punjab. The message was clear – \u201cPunjab cannot be suppressed, and never will be!\u201d<\/p>\n

If the central government does not withdraw its decision, a storm is coming in Punjab. AAP has indicated that the next phase will see even bigger protests and a public awareness campaign across Punjab. Punjab\u2019s intellectuals, writers, and artists are also uniting on this issue. The Punjabi diaspora is also raising its voice on social media. This is no longer just a political fight, it has become a battle for Punjab\u2019s identity. And when Punjab fights for its rights, history is witness that it wins. BJP will have to understand – Punjab cannot be suppressed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
