AMRITSAR: Reminding Khalsa College governing council ( KCGC) president Satyajit Singh Majithia of his “illustrious lineage”, Punjab Congress chief Captain Amarinder Singh lashed out at Majithia’s “unbridled greed to make personal capital out of a public and historic institution that holds a distinct place in Sikh history and heritage.”
In a hard-hitting statement issued here on Thursday, the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president claimed that Majithia was trying to grab and usurp a public institution for personal gains.
“Although I am not surprised over modern day Majithias’ unbridled greed for money after having completely been ‘Badalised’ in all respects, I still expected them to at least respect the sanctity of the institution which holds an important place in Sikh history and heritage”, he said, while responding to Majithia’s statement accusing him of politicising the issue of converting the Khalsa College into a private university.
“What Badals are doing to the SGPC, the Majithias are trying to repeat and replicate with Khalsa College”, he remarked, while asking him (Satyajit Majithia) as what was his or his family’s contribution towards setting up of this great institution.
