Project Cheetah: Displacing 5,000 people for lions and rushing cheetah translocation with no social impact surveys— Are we truly prioritizing conservation?
Review - DEKHO
With only 6,500 Cheetahs left in the wild, can we afford the risks to their welfare vis-a vis local communities?
As Punjab CM targets the SGPC president for openly standing with the Shiromani Akali Dal, Harjinder Singh Dhami’s declaration that he is “proud to be a soldier of Sukhbir Singh Badal” has brought an old Panthic truth back into focus. From the era of Panth Rattan Gurcharan Singh Tohra and Parkash Singh Badal, Sikh institutions and Akali leadership have traditionally worked together, not at cross-purposes. Is today’s criticism really about safeguarding the sanctity of the SGPC or is it a political attempt to weaken Sukhbir Singh Badal by questioning the Akali–Panthic bond that has defined Sikh politics for decades ?
जब पंजाब के मुख्यमंत्री SGPC अध्यक्ष को शिरोमणि अकाली दल के साथ खुलकर खड़े होने पर निशाना बना रहे हैं, तब हरजिंदर सिंह धामी का यह कहना कि वह “सुखबीर सिंह बादल के सिपाही होने पर गर्व महसूस करते हैं” एक पुरानी पंथक सच्चाई को फिर सामने ले आता है। पंथ रतन गुरचरण सिंह टोहड़ा और प्रकाश सिंह बादल के दौर से ही सिख संस्थाएं और अकाली नेतृत्व साथ-साथ चलते आए हैं, टकराव में नहीं। तो क्या आज की यह आलोचना सच में SGPC की पवित्रता बचाने की चिंता है या फिर उस अकाली-पंथक रिश्ते को कमजोर करने की कोशिश, जिसने दशकों तक सिख राजनीति को दिशा दी है ?
When a mother says she has lost six sons to drugs, it pierces deeper than any political claim. Punjab’s 'Yudh Nashe Virudh' was launched as a full-scale war on addiction, promising strict action and relief for families. Yet tragedies like this force a painful question, if the war is real, why are families still losing everything before help reaches them ? Is 'Yudh Nashe Virudh' protecting Punjab’s youth or has it remained a campaign of words while the crisis continues on the ground ? Is the Bhagwant Mann Government truly breaking the drug chain or only reacting after the damage is done ?
