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?
With Punjab Congress once again summoning its top leadership to Delhi and fresh rumours of organisational changes gaining momentum, the spotlight is back on the party’s never ending leadership puzzle. Despite repeated warnings from the high command over factionalism, internal rivalries continue to dominate headlines while Congress struggles to present a united front against AAP and the Akalis. With Raja Warring, Partap Singh Bajwa, Charanjit Singh Channi, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, and other senior leaders all carrying their own ambitions and support bases, the question of who truly controls Punjab Congress remains unanswered. Is Congress genuinely preparing for a serious 2027 comeback, or is the party still trapped in the same cycle of meetings, factions, and leadership uncertainty that has weakened it for years ?
पंजाब कांग्रेस द्वारा एक बार फिर अपने शीर्ष नेतृत्व को दिल्ली बुलाने और संगठनात्मक बदलाव की चर्चाओं के तेज होने के साथ ही पार्टी की पुरानी नेतृत्व पहेली फिर चर्चा में आ गई है। हाईकमान की बार-बार चेतावनियों के बावजूद गुटबाज़ी और अंदरूनी खींचतान लगातार सुर्खियों में बनी हुई है, जबकि कांग्रेस, ‘आप’ और शिरोमणि अकाली दल के खिलाफ एकजुट चेहरा पेश करने के लिए संघर्ष कर रही है। राजा वड़िंग, चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी, प्रताप सिंह बाजवा, सुखजिंदर सिंह रंधावा और अन्य वरिष्ठ नेताओं की अपनी-अपनी महत्वाकांक्षाएं और समर्थन आधार हैं, ऐसे में यह सवाल अब भी बना हुआ है कि पंजाब कांग्रेस की असली कमान किसके हाथ में है। क्या कांग्रेस सचमुच 2027 में मजबूत वापसी की तैयारी कर रही है, या फिर पार्टी अभी भी बैठकों, गुटबाज़ी और नेतृत्व असमंजस के उसी चक्र में फंसी हुई है जिसने उसे वर्षों से कमजोर किया है ?
Avtar Singh Junior entered Punjab politics carrying the weight of a powerful legacy as the son of veteran Congress leader Avtar Henry, but unlike many political heirs, he managed to turn that inheritance into back to back victories from Jalandhar North in both 2017 and 2022. Calm, accessible, and deeply connected with constituency politics, Junior has built the image of a leader who quietly strengthened his own base instead of surviving only on family name politics. But Punjab politics changes fast, and voters today are far less loyal to legacy surnames than before. The real question now is, has Avtar Singh Junior genuinely become an independent political force in Jalandhar North, or will the real pressure begin when legacy alone stops being enough to guarantee victories ?
