Chandigarh: The Indian State is apparently attempting to create fear-psychosis in Punjab after the Supreme Court of India (SCI)’s Nov. 10 (2016) verdict against Punjab in a Presidential reference related to construction of controversial Satluj Yamuna Link (SYL) Canal. There are reports of para-military deployment in various parts of Punjab.
Four companies of Para Military Forces were deployed on Sunday (Nov. 13) in Punjab’s Patiala, Fatehgarh Sahib and Mohali districts. The para-military forces also marked their presence in Ludhiana on Monday.
As per Punjabi Tribune, a Punjabi vernacular published from Chandigarh, the Rapid Action Force held flag marches in Patiala, Samana, Patran and Rajpura.
Reacting the deployment of para-military forces in Punjab, Sikh youth leader Bhai Mandhir Singh said that the deployment was aimed at creating fear-psychosis in the Punjabi society.
“The Indian state is attempting to threaten certain section of the society with such moves and at the same time this move is also aimed at agitating those who have the capacity and willingness to struggle for safeguarding the existential concerns of the people of Punjab” said Bhai Mandhir Singh.
He further said that the political class of Punjab is likely to once again run away from its responsibilities at this crucial juncture. The opposition is already demanding President’s rule in Punjab, the ruling combile too heading towards paving way for imposition of Centre’s control over Punjab. By doing so the political class would expose the people of Punjab in front of Indian state’s repression machinery as they have done same thing in the past also.
He said that the whole process in aimed at preventing the people of Punjab from taking a strong decision under normal conditions to safeguard their existential concerns.
