According to the data released for the year 2023-2024, India has exported goods worth 16 billion U.S. dollars to China and imported goods worth 101 billion U.S. dollars, resulting in a trade deficit of 85 billion U.S. dollars with China. At the same time, discussions regarding Indo-China relations are taking place with great intensity.
Though many leaders are returning to the Shiromani Akali Dal after leaving the Punar Surjit faction, Giani Harpreet Singh still remains a name that sparks curiosity in Punjab’s Panthic and political circles. Known more for religious authority and moral influence than party politics, any move by him could instantly shift equations at a time when old leaders are returning and the Akali space is being reshaped again. As traditional camps try to regroup, the demand for a fresh and credible face also continues to grow. With 2027 approaching, the bigger question is whether Giani Harpreet Singh will stay above electoral politics, or choose this moment of shifting loyalties to enter the field himself. If he does step in, where would he fight from to turn influence into votes ?
पुनर सुरजीत गुट छोड़कर कई नेता फिर से शिरोमणि अकाली दल में लौट रहे हैं, लेकिन ज्ञानी हरप्रीत सिंह अब भी पंजाब के पंथक और राजनीतिक हलकों में जिज्ञासा का विषय बने हुए हैं। वह पार्टी राजनीति से ज्यादा धार्मिक प्रभाव और नैतिक पहचान के लिए जाने जाते हैं, इसलिए उनका कोई भी कदम ऐसे समय में समीकरण बदल सकता है जब पुराने नेता वापसी कर रहे हैं और अकाली राजनीति फिर से आकार ले रही है। जब पारंपरिक खेमे खुद को दोबारा खड़ा करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं, तब एक नए और भरोसेमंद चेहरे की मांग भी बनी हुई है। 2027 नजदीक आते ही बड़ा सवाल यह है कि क्या ज्ञानी हरप्रीत सिंह चुनावी राजनीति से ऊपर ही रहेंगे, या बदलती वफादारियों के इस दौर में खुद मैदान में उतरेंगे। अगर वह चुनाव लड़ते हैं, तो प्रभाव को वोटों में बदलने के लिए किस सीट से उतर सकते हैं ?
Sarabjeet Singh Jhinjer is one of the few emerging Akali faces who does not come from a major political legacy, but has risen through years of organizational work within the Shiromani Akali Dal. From student politics in SOI to district leadership, village sarpanch, Youth Development Board roles, and now National President of Youth Akali Dal, his rise has largely been built through party structure and the backing of Sukhbir Singh Badal. That makes him a different kind of leader in Punjab politics, shaped more by hard work and cadre politics than family surname.
