Any takers for that sacrifice today when the state is in dire straits?
Review - DEKHO
During the first Green Revolution, all the natural resources were put to exploitative use to make the nation self-sufficient in food grains. Punjabis came forward with full force.
As Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal raised the issue of missing holy saroops and even approached the DGP seeking action, criticism from rival factions has turned the matter into a political controversy. However, supporters argue that raising concerns over religious matters is a responsibility of Panthic leadership, not politics.
शिरोमणि अकाली दल के अध्यक्ष सुखबीर सिंह बादल द्वारा गुम हुए पवित्र स्वरूपों का मुद्दा उठाकर कार्रवाई के लिए डी.जी.पी. से मुलाकात करने के बाद, विरोधी गुटों की आलोचना ने इसे राजनीतिक विवाद का रूप दे दिया है। हालांकि समर्थकों का कहना है कि धार्मिक मामलों पर आवाज उठाना पंथक नेतृत्व की जिम्मेदारी है, राजनीति नहीं।
After Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel hinted that the party high command would consider Captain Amarinder Singh’s return if he wished, the remark has stirred fresh political whispers around a leader once seen as Punjab’s tallest power centre. But today, Amarinder is in the BJP, largely absent from active politics due to health concerns, limited ground engagement, and a shrinking organisational footprint. At a time when both the BJP and the Congress are searching for energetic, election-ready faces ahead of 2027, the bigger question is whether the Captain still commands political weight or has gradually drifted from kingmaker to a legacy name in Punjab’s fast-changing power game. Is Captain Amarinder Singh still a political asset worth investing in, or has time quietly reduced his role to symbolism rather than strategy ?
