Haryana Assembly unanimously passes resolution seeking restoration of state's share in Panjab University
Haryana Assembly has unanimously passed a resolution recommending the government to seek restoration of the state's share in Panjab University. Chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Education Minister Kanwar Pal said that "Haryana must get its share in affiliation of colleges to Panjab University, Chandigarh to protect the interest of the students and citizens of the state."
Congress MLA Geeta Bhukkal moved the non-official resolution in the state assembly. "As we know that Haryana state's share in PU was granted under the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966, and colleges and regional centre of Haryana were affiliated to PU. Presently, Haryana has no share in the PU. Haryana government should submit a request before the Chancellor of the PU, that is India's Vice President, for the affiliation of colleges and granting the due share to Haryana by amending rule to restore the state's share in PU," the resolution read.
The House further recommended to the state government to seek share of affiliation of colleges in PU and protest the interest of not only students but also the citizens of Haryana. The state government further assured that it will pay the share of the grant to the PU.
While speaking to reporters, Khattar said that "the share of Haryana in Panjab University should be restored and the colleges of Haryana adjoining Chandigarh should also be affiliated with this university. The matter was also raised in a recent meeting of the Northern Zonal Council, chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah."
Education minister Pal said "a Civil Writ Petition titled Sangeeta Bhalla Vs. State of Punjab and others is pending in the Punjab and Haryana High Court in which the court has passed an interim order dated May 19, 2022 directing the Centre to consider conversion of PU into a central university."
"The Haryana government has also moved an application before the high court so that if the court has to give any decision, Haryana's plea should be heard and it should be made a party in the case," he said, as reported by NDTV.
