When will Governments pay attention to ensure that the buffer stock doesn't run out or that private parties don’t manipulate the situation, which the public may not fully understand?
After objections were raised over the ‘Waris Punjab De’ as a security threat, Manpreet Singh Ayali and MP Sarabjit Singh Khalsa met Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria and demanded that action against the party be stopped. Ayali argued that political parties should be judged on facts and not labelled a security threat because of political differences. If Ayali says political differences should not be turned into security allegations, should he now focus on showing voters what ‘Waris Punjab De’ stands for politically and how it plans to operate as a recognised political force ?
वारिस पंजाब दे’ को सुरक्षा के लिए खतरा बताए जाने पर आपत्ति जताते हुए मनप्रीत सिंह अयाली और सांसद सरबजीत सिंह खालसा ने पंजाब के राज्यपाल गुलाब चंद कटारिया से मुलाकात की और पार्टी के खिलाफ कार्रवाई रोकने की मांग की। अयाली ने कहा कि राजनीतिक दलों को तथ्यों के आधार पर परखा जाना चाहिए और राजनीतिक मतभेदों के कारण उन्हें सुरक्षा के लिए खतरा नहीं बताया जाना चाहिए। अगर अयाली का कहना है कि राजनीतिक मतभेदों को सुरक्षा से जुड़े आरोपों में नहीं बदला जाना चाहिए, तो क्या अब उन्हें मतदाताओं के सामने यह बताने पर ध्यान देना चाहिए कि ‘वारिस पंजाब दे’ राजनीतिक रूप से क्या चाहता है और एक मान्यता प्राप्त राजनीतिक ताकत के रूप में वह कैसे काम करेगा ?
Sukhbir Singh Badal lost the Jalalabad Assembly seat in 2022 and has remained outside the Punjab Vidhan Sabha since then. The SAD president is now presenting himself as the “most suitable” choice for Chief Minister in 2027. After losing his own Assembly seat in 2022 and spending the current term outside the Vidhan Sabha, can Sukhbir Badal realistically claim the Chief Minister’s chair or does he first need to win back a seat before asking Punjab to put him back in the top job ?
