AMRITSAR: Punjab Congress chief Captain Amarinder Singh said he’ll never allow Parkash Singh Badal and his close relatives, the Majithias, to “gang up and rob” the Sikh culture and history by “undermining” the glorious heritage of local Khalsa College” by converting this institution into a private university.
Amarinder issued a statement on Thursday that “in case the Badal government goes ahead with the proposal to build a private university, the next Congress government will rescind the (university) Act and restore the original status of the college”. “Khalsa College is not the personal property of the Majithias. It belongs to all Sikhs and was built with support from the erstwhile princely states of Patiala, Kapurthala, Jind, Nabha and Faridkot,” he added.
