The relocation of students from Punjab to Canada in large numbers has now started to backfire on their status in Canada. Who is responsible? The mushrooming of unrecognized colleges in Canada, which provide visa cover letters at huge cost with their selfish motives of money-making.

Why is there no check by enrolling these colleges in Indian embassies in Canada to avoid potential frauds?
The Shiromani Akali Dal was built around Sikh political and community interests, while Sikh institutions have a separate religious and community role. For decades, the Badal family has played a central role in Akali politics. Recent allegations and political attacks have again raised questions about the relationship between the Badal family, Akali politics and Sikh institutions. Although these claims are politically contested and include allegations that need to be distinguished from established facts. When the Badal family remains closely linked with Akali politics, where should the line be drawn between family-led party politics, Panthic politics and the independent role of Sikh institutions and has that line become too blurred in Punjab ?
शिरोमणि अकाली दल की नींव सिख राजनीतिक और सामुदायिक हितों से जुड़ी रही है, जबकि सिख संस्थाओं की अपनी अलग धार्मिक और सामुदायिक भूमिका है। दशकों से बादल परिवार अकाली राजनीति में एक केंद्रीय भूमिका निभाता रहा है। हालिया आरोपों और राजनीतिक हमलों ने एक बार फिर बादल परिवार, अकाली राजनीति और सिख संस्थाओं के बीच संबंधों पर सवाल खड़े किए हैं। हालांकि, ये दावे राजनीतिक रूप से विवादित हैं और इनमें लगाए गए आरोपों को स्थापित तथ्यों से अलग करके देखना जरूरी है। जब बादल परिवार अकाली राजनीति से इतना गहराई से जुड़ा हुआ है, तो परिवार-केंद्रित पार्टी राजनीति, पंथक राजनीति और सिख संस्थाओं की स्वतंत्र भूमिका के बीच रेखा कहां खींची जानी चाहिए ? क्या पंजाब में यह रेखा बहुत धुंधली हो गई है ?
Sukhbir Singh Badal has openly targeted Amritpal Singh and ‘Waris Punjab De’, while Amritpal’s camp is trying to build its own political base among sections of the Panthic electorate. But here’s the uncomfortable question for Sukhbir Singh Badal: if Amritpal Singh can pull away even a part of SAD’s traditional Panthic base, does that expose how much ground the Badal-led SAD has already lost ? Or has Amritpal finally emerged as the challenge SAD cannot dismiss ?
