lodging strong protest to the decision of Akali Government to constitute Khalsa University on the land of heritage Khalsa College, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday declared that after formation of its Government in Punjab, the proposal of Khalsa University would be scrapped.
“Formation of Khalsa University is an attempt by Majithia family to grab the prestigious land of heritage Khalsa College. Earlier Majithias tried to convert Khalsa College into Heritage Hotel and now the route of Khalsa University was adopted by them to grab the land,” alleged AAP’s spokesperson Sukhpal Singh Khaira.
He said that at the fag end of their rule, Badals are trying their last attempt to destroy the Heritage Khalsa College.
Khaira alleged that as the Managing Committee of Khalsa College is headed by Majithias, who, in the greed to grab the prestigious and prime chunk of land, designs and dreams of Khalsa University were mooted by Badals and Majithias.
He questioned where is the need of another private university in Amritsar when the prestigious Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) is already situated next door.
