With over 7.5 lakh land dispute cases already choking the courts and 6 lakh acres under Waqf, how does snatching Waqf Boards’ authority bring ‘transparency’? Or is this just bulldozer politics in a new bureaucratic costume?
The withdrawal of security for Punjabi singers like Gippy Grewal and Jordan Sandhu has sparked a sharp political debate, especially in a state still shadowed by the killing of Sidhu Moosewala after a similar reduction in protection.

पंजाबी गायकों गिप्पी ग्रेवाल और जॉर्डन संधू की सुरक्षा वापस लेने के फैसले ने एक बड़ा राजनीतिक विवाद खड़ा कर दिया है, खासकर उस राज्य में जो अभी भी सिद्धू मूसेवाला की हत्या के बाद सुरक्षा व्यवस्था को लेकर संवेदनशील बना हुआ है। सक्रिय गैंगस्टर खतरे के माहौल में, और विपक्षी नेताओं से मुलाकात के बाद लिए गए इन फैसलों के साथ-साथ अब तक किसी विस्तृत सार्वजनिक स्पष्टीकरण का न आना, इस सवाल को और गंभीर बना देता है कि क्या सुरक्षा समीक्षा केवल खतरे के आकलन पर आधारित है या राजनीतिक धारणा भी इसमें भूमिका निभा रही है।
