Office-bearers and activists of the Guest Faculty United Front have threatened to intensify their stir in case the state government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann attempted to discontinue their services as guest faculty assistant professors.

The ultimatum was given by activists led by assistant professor Sukhjit Singh and Harmandeep Kaur during a dharna and protest rally held in front of Government College, Karamsar, Ludhiana district, near here on Tuesday.

Speakers including Sukhjit Singh, Harmandeep Kaur, Avtar Singh and Maninder Singh regretted that AAP leaders including the CM, Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan and Education Minister Harjot Bains, who had been opposing previous government’s decision to appoint assistant professors in an allegedly malicious manner, were now poised to disrupt lives of those educators who had been sustaining the higher education by working on meagre salaries.

“We have no objection to the joining of 1,158 professors in pursuance of court orders but we are protesting against the government’s policy to replace us with them,” Sukhjit Singh said.
