Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit refused to give consent to the appointment of Dr. Gurpreet Wander as the new Vice-Chancellor (V-C) of the Faridkot-based Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) and asked the AAP government to send a list of three names for the position.
The Governor, who is the Chancellor of the University, pointed out that recommending only one name by the government was in violation of the rules. The Chief Minister had on September 30 announced the appointment of Dr. Wander as the next Vice-Chancellor of BFUHS. However, the Governor turning down the recommendation has left the government red-faced.
