Has any political, religious, or social organisation, even for record’s sake, or any official department ever bothered to keep an authentic record of sufferings, collateral damages to mankind, monetary and other losses during the Partition of the nation, which actually was only of united Punjab subsequently trifurcating into Himachal Pradesh and Haryana?

Where are those who shout from rooftops to propagate vested interests on these decisions?
Harjinder Singh Thekedar, once a veteran Congress MLA, managed just 1,566 votes in 2022 on a Punjab Lok Congress ticket. After PLC merged into BJP following Captain Amarinder Singh’s entry, Thekedar is now seen lauding BJP in Punjab. But after such a poor showing, should BJP really field him from this key seat, or is it a gamble that could backfire?
हरजिंदर सिंह ठेकेदार, जो कभी कांग्रेस के वरिष्ठ विधायक रहे, ने 2022 में पंजाब लोक कांग्रेस के टिकट पर सिर्फ़ 1,566 वोट हासिल किए थे। कैप्टन अमरिंदर सिंह के भाजपा में शामिल होने के बाद PLC के भाजपा में विलय के साथ अब हरजिंदर सिंह ठेकेदार पंजाब में भाजपा की जम कर तारीफ़ करते दिखते हैं। लेकिन इतनी खराब परफॉर्मेंस के बाद, क्या भाजपा को सच में उन्हें इस अहम सीट से उतारना चाहिए या यह दांव उल्टा पड़ सकता है?
In the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections, BJP contested independently in Tarn Taran and managed just 1,176 votes, finishing sixth, barely ahead of NOTA. Now in 2025, it’s back with Harjit Singh Sandhu, a former SAD leader.
