Only 49,000 males and 69,000 females get pension, whereas there are around 6.5 lakh disabled persons in Punjab. It is a matter of concern that why all of eligible people are unable to get pension. There is no way to reach them, or they do not need it, this is not possible. There is a need to think seriously on this.

Do all Disabled people getting pension in Punjab ?
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has questioned why the Aam Aadmi Party Government cites financial constraints in releasing pending Dearness Allowance (DA) to government employees and pensioners, while funds continue to be spent on advertisements and new welfare schemes. The issue goes beyond one payment or one scheme, it raises a fundamental question about the philosophy of governance. When public resources are limited, should the Government first fulfil its existing obligations before announcing new benefits, or is political visibility taking precedence over financial responsibility ? Can the Government truly claim good governance if promises consistently outrank commitments ?
पंजाब एवं हरियाणा हाईकोर्ट ने आम आदमी पार्टी सरकार से सवाल किया है कि जब सरकारी कर्मचारियों और पेंशनभोगियों का लंबित महंगाई भत्ता (DA) जारी करने के लिए वित्तीय संसाधनों की कमी बताई जा रही है, तो विज्ञापनों और नई कल्याणकारी योजनाओं के लिए धन कैसे उपलब्ध है ? यह मामला केवल DA या किसी एक योजना का नहीं, बल्कि शासन की प्राथमिकताओं का है। जब सार्वजनिक संसाधन सीमित हों, तो क्या सरकार को पहले अपनी पहले से तय जिम्मेदारियां निभानी चाहिए या नई घोषणाओं के जरिए राजनीतिक छवि बनानी चाहिए ? क्या कोई सरकार वास्तव में सुशासन का दावा कर सकती है, यदि उसके लिए वादे निभाने से अधिक नए वादे करना महत्वपूर्ण हो जाए ?
Former Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh has once again reignited the debate over the Shiromani Akali Dal's relationship with the Akal Takht. Referring to the December 2024 Akal Takht edict directing the Badal-led SAD to undertake its organisational revamp under a seven-member panel, he alleged that while the party accepted the religious punishment, it rejected the Takht's organisational directions on legal and constitutional grounds. The episode raises a deeper question: Can a party continue to claim the mantle of Panthic leadership if it accepts the authority of the Akal Takht only when it is politically convenient ? Has the Shiromani Akali Dal blurred the line between Panthic conviction and political expediency ? What should define a party that claims to lead Panthic politics ?
