Warring meets Vice-President Dhankhar on Senate poll issue

Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president and MP from Ludhiana Amarinder Singh Raja Warring has met Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who is Chancellor of Panjab University, to discuss the delay in the Senate elections.

Warring emphasised the importance of the elections in upholding the university’s democratic values and ensuring fair representation to all stakeholders.

“Panjab University has been a beacon of democratic governance in higher education and its elected Senate is a unique model that ensures impartiality and inclusivity. The delay in holding the elections raises serious questions about the commitment to this democratic tradition,” said Warring during the discussion.

Warring pointed out that the Senate elections are not merely procedural but integral to the efficient functioning of the institution, directly impacting students, faculty, and the university’s future trajectory. “The delay creates a vacuum in decision making, leaving critical issues unresolved and stakeholders unheard. It is imperative that the democratic rights of the university community are respected and restored without further procrastination,” he added.
