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?
Punjab’s political situation is getting more complex as Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh faces the risk of prolonged absence from Parliament, even as legal provisions may still protect his seat. At the same time, BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu has earlier backed his parole to attend Parliament, raising eyebrows across the political spectrum. With SAD-BJP ties already off the table and new equations being explored, a sharper question now emerges, are these signals pointing toward a larger political recalculation ? Is this just about democratic rights of representation, or could it hint at BJP keeping doors open for a possible future understanding with 'Waris Punjab De' in a changing Punjab political landscape ?
पंजाब की राजनीति और जटिल होती दिख रही है, जहां खडूर साहिब से सांसद अमृतपाल सिंह की संसद से लगातार गैर-हाज़िरी चिंता का विषय बन रही है, हालांकि कानूनी प्रावधान अभी उनकी सीट को सुरक्षित रख सकते हैं। इसी बीच, भाजपा नेता रवनीत सिंह बिट्टू द्वारा पहले उनके संसद में शामिल होने के लिए पैरोल का समर्थन करना भी राजनीतिक हलकों में चर्चा का कारण बना हुआ है। अकाली दल–भाजपा गठबंधन पहले ही खत्म हो चुका है और नए समीकरण तलाशे जा रहे हैं, ऐसे में बड़ा सवाल उठता है, क्या ये संकेत किसी बड़े राजनीतिक पुनर्गठन की ओर इशारा कर रहे हैं ? क्या यह केवल लोकतांत्रिक प्रतिनिधित्व के अधिकार की बात है, या फिर बदलते पंजाब के राजनीतिक परिदृश्य में भाजपा ‘वारिस पंजाब दे’ के साथ भविष्य में किसी संभावित समझ के लिए दरवाजे खुले रख रही है ?
The BJP’s decision to project Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini as a governance model for Punjab ahead of the Assembly elections reflects a carefully shaped campaign strategy that leans on showcasing performance from neighbouring states. At the same time, the party already has prominent Punjab leaders like Sunil Kumar Jakhar and Captain Amarinder Singh, both of whom joined the BJP after long stints in the Congress. Their political experience adds weight, but their past affiliations also raise quiet questions about internal trust, consistency, and long-term positioning within the party structure. In a state where regional identity, credibility, and continuity often shape voter perception, does this dual approach of projecting external governance models while relying on leaders with shifting political backgrounds point to strategic depth, or does it reveal an underlying hesitation in fully backing a stable, homegrown leadership narrative ?
