CHANDIGARH, AUG 17
The Punjab Education & Languages Minister Mr. Sikander Singh Maluka
today took a serious notice of cancellation of entrance exam of M.Phil
submitted in Punjabi medium by Panjab University, Chandigarh and sought the
intervention of Vice-President Mr. Hamid Ansari who is also the Chancellor of
University to reverse this anti-Punjabi decision.
Mr.
Maluka said that this was a dangerous and strange decision against Punjab and Punjabi language that reflects systematic plan
to decimate Punjabi language in the Capital of Punjab itself. He said that
the Punjab government would not tolerate neglect of Punjabi language by Panjab University,
which was being provided 60% financial aid by the state government. He said
that Punjab has full right on Panjab
University and protection
of Punjabi language was the duty of University Administration. He pointed out
that even the Country’s highest administrative job test Civil Services was also
being allowed in Punjabi medium too.
Demanding
intervention of the Vice President Mr. Hamid Ansari, who was also the
Chancellor of the University, he categorically said that the Punjab
government would never tolerate discrimination with Punjabi language and the
University would have to withdraw this anti-Punjabi language decision. He said
that the University students have every right to appear in any examination in
their mother language.
The
Education Minister said that taking in view the seriousness of the issue SAD
MPs from Punjab would soon call on Prime
Minister to impress on this issue.
