No one else will take on this responsibility. Additionally, the governments of the time must also play a role in contributing to this effort. Does this indicate that there is still much for us to accomplish?
Punjab politics is entering a sharper and more confrontational phase as Sukhbir Singh Badal intensifies his demand for a CBI probe into the Gagandeep Singh Randhawa case, claiming that a fair investigation could expose “hidden truths” and deeper links. At the same time, Bhagwant Mann has firmly rejected both the Centre's intervention and the demand for a CBI inquiry, maintaining that the state machinery is capable of handling the case on its own. This direct clash has now turned into a larger political debate around transparency, accountability, and the balance between state autonomy and central agencies. With serious allegations on one side and a strong refusal on the other, is this standoff really about protecting federal structure, or does it raise uncomfortable questions about what might come out if an independent probe is allowed ?
पंजाब की राजनीति एक अधिक तीखे और टकराव वाले दौर में प्रवेश कर रही है, जहां सुखबीर सिंह बादल ने गगनदीप सिंह रंधावा मामले में सी.बी.आई. जांच की मांग तेज कर दी है। उनका कहना है कि निष्पक्ष जांच से “छिपे हुए सच” और गहरे संबंध सामने आ सकते हैं। वहीं, भगवंत मान ने केंद्र के हस्तक्षेप और सी.बी.आई. जांच दोनों को सख्ती से खारिज कर दिया है, यह कहते हुए कि राज्य की अपनी एजेंसियां इस मामले को संभालने में सक्षम हैं। यह सीधा टकराव अब पारदर्शिता, जवाबदेही और राज्य बनाम केंद्र की भूमिका पर एक बड़े राजनीतिक बहस का रूप ले चुका है। एक तरफ गंभीर आरोप हैं और दूसरी तरफ सख्त इनकार, ऐसे में क्या यह टकराव वास्तव में संघीय ढांचे की रक्षा के बारे में है, या यह उन सच्चाइयों को लेकर सवाल खड़े करता है जो एक स्वतंत्र जांच में सामने आ सकती हैं ?
Protests by outsourced employees of Punjab Roadways, PRTC and PUNBUS over unpaid salaries, pending dues, and arrests of fellow workers have once again brought attention to the condition of contract workers in government-linked services. With thousands reportedly struggling to receive basic wages while policies around outsourcing continue, the issue raises deeper concerns about accountability, labour rights, and governance priorities. At a time when governments speak of welfare and efficiency, does this situation point to a failure in protecting the most vulnerable workers within the system, or is it a result of deeper structural and policy challenges under Bhagwant Mann ?
