In a surprising turn of events, Prof. Sarbjot Singh Bahl, a respected academic at Guru Nanak Dev University, has been removed from his role as Dean. This decision comes in the wake of his close association with Rahul Gandhi during the politician's recent visit to Amritsar, raising eyebrows and leading to Bahl's dismissal.
Read what's the reason behind the removal...
The controversial Amritsar visit:
During Rahul Gandhi's visit to Amritsar, Prof. Sarbjot Singh Bahl accompanied him and holds a significant position in the academic department of GNDU. It was explicitly stated by Congress leaders that Rahul's visit was a religious one, and they should maintain distance from him at the Golden Temple.
Standing out from the crowd:
In defiance of the Congress leaders' directive, Prof. Sarbjot Singh Bahl was a constant presence by Rahul Gandhi's side throughout the visit. Bahl not only welcomed Rahul Gandhi at the airport but also provided him with a comprehensive understanding of the Golden Temple's history and significance.
The new appointment
Mr B.S. Bajwa, a distinguished figure with a track record of important roles at Guru Nanak Dev University, is set to assume the position of Dean of Academic Affairs following Prof. Sarbjot Bahl's resignation. Bajwa, who has previously served as Dean of Alumni and as the Director of Placement at GNDU, will take charge of this crucial role.
Conclusion:
Prof. Sarbjot Singh Bahl's removal from the Dean position at Guru Nanak Dev University was a result of his close association with Rahul Gandhi during the politician's Amritsar visit. The appointment of Mr B.S. Bajwa to this key role signifies a new chapter in GNDU's academic affairs.
