Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann today interacted with the agitating students of Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL) in Patiala and assured them that the state government is committed to providing justice to them.
While talking to the students over the phone, the Chief Minister said that the state government is committed to protect their interests in every way. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that students are the future of the country and they will not be allowed to be harassed for any reason. He said that the excesses of any person or authority will not be tolerated and the students will be given justice at all costs.
Government stands with the agitating students
Expressing solidarity with the agitating students, the Chief Minister said that the state government stands with them in this difficult time. He said that the state government is closely monitoring all the incidents that have taken place during the last few days. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the Punjab government will leave no stone unturned to protect the interests of the students.
Know what is the whole matter
Actually this whole matter started on Sunday. When the Vice Chancellor (VC) visited the girls hostel of the university without any notice and commented on the clothes of the students, all the students got angry. The students said that the university administration does not allow the parents of the girls to come to the rooms or even the hostel campus.
But the VC does the checking without informing anyone, which is not appropriate at all. He commented on the condition in which they were sitting in their rooms. He said that this act cannot be tolerated.
Students refused to go home
The students say that even though the university has declared a holiday, it is not going to back down. The students have been protesting since Sunday. This is the first case of its kind, when such allegations have been leveled against the VC of the university. At the same time, the university is trying to settle the matter.
