ઇરાક અને સિરિયામાં આતંક મચાવ્યા બાદ ISISની નજર ભારત પર

 ઇરાક અને સિરિયામાં આતંક મચાવ્યા બાદ ISISની નજર ભારત પર
દુનિયાભરમાં ખુન-ખારાબા અને ખૌફનો આતંક ફેલાવનાર અબૂ બક્ર અલ બગદાદીના ટાર્ગેટ પર હવે ભારત છે. ISIS હવે ભારતમાં પોતાનું નેટવર્ક ફેલાવી રહ્યાં છે. અંગ્રેજી અખબાર 'મેલ ટુડે'એ ખુલાસો કરતા જણાવ્યું છે કે આતંકવાદી સંગઠન ભારત અને વિદેશમાં રહેતા મુસ્લિમોને જેહાદ અને પૈસાની લાલચ આપીને આતંકવાદી બનાવી રહ્યાં છે. ભારતમાં બગદાદી ઉભી કરી રહ્યો છે મોટી ફૌજ ઇસ્લામને ન માનનારા લોકોને નાસ્તિક ગણાવી તેમનું સર કલમ કરનાર બગદાદીનું ખાસ મનોરંજનુ સાધન છે. પરંતુ ભારતમાં ખુન-ખરાબા કરવા માટે બગદાદી સિરિયા અને ઇરાકથી પોતાના લડવૈયા નહી મોકલે પરંતુ ભારતના જ લોકોને ઉશ્કેરી પોતાના માટે મોટી ફૌજ તૈયાર કરવાનું કાવતરૂ ઘડી રહ્યો છે. તે ભારતના યુવાનોને ફોસલાવીને આતંકના રસ્તે ઘકેલવાની ફિરાકમાં છે. આવી રીતે ISIS ભારતમાં ફેલાવી રહ્યો છે નેટવર્ક ઇન્ટેલિજન્સ એજન્સીઓએ ગત વર્ષે તેલંગણાના લગભગ 17 યુવાનોની અટકાયત કરી હતી જે તુર્કી થઇને સિરિયા જઇને ISISમાં જોડાવવાની ફિરાકમાં હતા. આ યુવાનોમાંથી એક હૈદરાબાદ નિવાસી યુવાન મુસૈબએ (નામ બદલ્યું છે) 'મેલ ટુડે'ને આપેલા ઇન્ટરવ્યૂવમાં જણાવ્યું કે ભારતમાં ISISના બે સંચાલક ગુજરાતના રહેવાસી છે. આ ઉપરાંત સાઉદી અરેબિયા અને અફઘાનિસ્તાનમાં રહેતા કેટલાક ભારતીય પણ આતંકવાદી સંગઠનમાં જોડાવવા માટે મુસ્લિમ યુવાનોનું બ્રેન વોશ કરી રહ્યાં છે. તેમાથી એક હતો ઇન્ડિયન મુઝાહિદ્દીનના આતંકવાદી સુલતાન અરમર શાહ, જે ISIS તરફ લડતા માર્યો ગયો. મુસૈબ અને તેના ત્રણ અન્ય મિત્રોએ જણાવ્યું કે કેવી રીતે ઇન્ટરનેટ થકી આતંકવાદીઓ યુવાનોનો સંપર્ક કરે છે અને તેમને સિરિયા પહોંચાડવાનો બંદોબસ્ત પણ કરે છે. તેમણે જણાવ્યું કે તેમણે દુબઇથઇ 53 હજાર રૂપિયા અને યુનાઇટેડ કિંગડમથી એક લાખ રૂપિયા મોકલાવ્યા હતા. ISISના 70-75 કાર્યકર્તા પર ઇન્ટેલિજન્સની બાજ નજર ISISના દરેક ટ્વીટર એકાઉન્ટની જાણ ઇન્ટેલિજન્સને જાણ છે અને તેના પર બાજ નજર પણ છે. જો કે તેમના નામનો ખુલાસો કરવામાં આવ્યો નથી. પરંતુ સુત્રો અનુસાર દિલ્હી, સૂરત અને જમ્મુ-કાશ્મીરના કેટલાક અલગાવવાદિઓ પર તેમની ચાંપતી નજર છે. વળી ઇન્ડિયન મુજાહિદ્દીનના પણ કેટલાય આતંકવાદી ISISના આતંકવાદીઓના સંપર્કમાં છે. ઇન્ટેલિજન્સ એજન્સીઓએ ISISના આતંકવાદીઓ ભારતમાં ઘૂષણખોરી કરી હોવાના સમચાર મળ્યા છે. તેમાં તેલંગણા, આંધ્ર પ્રદેશ, મહારાષ્ટ્રસ પશ્ચિમ બંગાળ, ઉત્તર પ્રદેશ, દિલ્હી, બિહાર, જમ્મુ-કાશ્મીર અને તામિલનાડુ અત્યંત સંવેદનશીલ છે.

Government Disrupting Parliament to Protect Guilty

Government Disrupting Parliament to Protect Guilty

BJP'S CORRUPTION



Govt Disrupting Parliament

To Protect Guilty



Sitaram Yechury





CLEARLY, this BJP government is brazening out the turmoil in the parliament
and is hoping to `ride the storm' and escape parliamentary scrutiny over
grave charges of corruption that have been raised by the united opposition.
On the eve of this monsoon session of parliament, this BJP government and PM
Modi, celebrating their first year in office, bombastically claimed that
they have provided a corruption-free government as opposed to the
scam-ridden UPA-2 government. The recent revelations in the Lalit Modi scam,
the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh, the involvement of two BJP ministers in
the scams in Maharashtra and the public distribution system connected scams
by the BJP government in Chhattisgarh have busted this myth.



The issues causing the current disruptions in both houses of parliament are
the serious allegations of misuse of office pertaining to the union minister
for external affairs and the chief minister of Rajasthan regarding the undue
favours they have shown to a fugitive from Indian law, former cricket IPL
czar, Lalit Modi.  It is alleged that their recommendations, facilitated
this fugitive from remaining beyond the jurisdiction of Indian law. It is
alleged that they facilitated the procuring of a legal travel document to
this fugitive from a foreign government (UK).



Outside the parliament, the BJP counters these charges by saying that these
actions by the external affairs minister were prompted by feelings of
humanism to help the concerned fugitive to attend to his ailing wife in
Portugal. It was argued that this fugitive requires to sign the papers
sanctioning medical treatment of his wife. Subsequently, it was shown that
Portugal does not require the concurrence of the spouse in such medical
cases. Further, many media reports have shown how this limited objective
could have been met through a limited travel permit from London to Portugal,
even if that was necessary and, at the same time, ensuring the return of the
fugitive to be tried under Indian law without recommending the issue of a
general travel document. The current parliamentary disruptions are also
connected with demand for action on serious allegations against the Madhya
Pradesh chief minister in the Vyapam scam. This scam represents a deadly
cocktail of crime and corruption that has claimed the lives of scores of
people, many outside the state.



This BJP government charges the opposition of avoiding a discussion in
parliament when they are prepared to (mercifully!) allow one.  The
opposition correctly maintains that a parliamentary discussion cannot be a
substitute for an investigation. These are serious charges that need to be
investigated at the highest level.  Till such an investigation continues, as
is the norm for any government servant, the accused demits office in order
to ensure strict impartiality.  It is precisely this that is being asked of
this BJP government.  After all, PM Modi declared from the Red Fort that he
is not the `Pradhan Mantri' but he is the `Pradhan Sewak'!  Surely,
therefore, the same rules and norms that govern a government servant in such
cases must apply to ministers as well.



All that the opposition is now asking this Modi government is that it
applies the same yardstick that they were asking for earlier. Consider the
utterly duplicitous positions now being taken by the BJP compared to their
own utterances in the past.  Much has appeared in public domain on the
positions taken by the minister for external affairs as the leader of
opposition in the Lok Sabha and the finance minister as the leader of the
opposition in the Rajya Sabha when similar disruptions rocked the parliament
during the UPA government's tenure.  On the oil for food scandal (Volker
disclosures), the 2005 parliament's winter session was disrupted leading to
the resignation of the then external affairs minister, Natwar Singh.  Then
the present minister for external affairs, Sushma Swaraj had said, "It was
only due to the pressure mounted by the opposition that the government
yesterday talked about probing the issue..No probe can be impartial without
Natwar Singh quitting office" (November 4, 2005).  Later in September 2012,
on the coal scam, Sushma Swaraj as the then leader of the opposition said,
"I would like to remind the prime minister, when he was leader of opposition
in Rajya Sabha (Dr Manmohan Singh), they had stalled parliament over the
Tehelka issue.  Even over the coffin scam, they stalled parliament and
called us coffin thieves."  Further, "Debate under 193 would mean a
`talkout' by the government and walkout by opposition. If we would have
taken debate under (rule) 184, they would have won because they have
numbers. Numbers however do not give the license to loot the country."
Also, "Not allowing parliament to function is also a form of democracy like
any other form".  She contended reacting to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's
statement that the BJP's stalling of parliament was a "negation" of
democracy.  The Congress and BJP roles now seem to have been reversed!  The
only consistent anti-corruption voice in the parliament remained and remains
that of CPI(M) and the Left.



In this context, it is necessary to highlight, once again, that neo-liberal
economic reforms engender corruption at high places by nurturing `crony
capitalism'. This Modi government is pursuing neo-liberal economic reforms
more aggressively than the Manmohan Singh government; scams, familiar under
UPA governments, thus, are bound to recur, if not, intensify under this Modi
government.



Further, take the case of the present union finance minister who is also the
leader of the house (Rajya Sabha).  He has been popping up and down like the
proverbial "jack in the box" raising "points of order". On every occasion
that he has done so in this current session, the house was disrupted
prompting opposition leaders to say that he is raising "points of disorder".
However, under the UPA government, while leading the disruption of
parliament as the leader of the opposition, he had said, "There are
occasions when obstructions in parliament brings greater benefits to the
country.Our strategy does not permit us to allow the government to use the
parliament (for debate) without being held accountable..we do not want to
give the government an escape route through debate".  Further, "We, in the
opposition, are not interested in merely the issue being talked out through
a one day debate in parliament." (August 26, 2012)



In this current session, the same person charged the opposition by saying,
"Why are you running away from a discussion? ...you are scared of a
discussion. (July 21, 2015). Further, "I dare you to start the discussion.
You don't have a single fact. Therefore noise making is all that you want to
do, and you don't want to discuss..."  (July 22, 2015)



Can there be greater duplicity?



Parliamentary disruptions during the 15th Lok Sabha eventually resulted in
the resignations of some UPA-2 ministers - A Raja, Dayanidhi Maran, Sashi
Tharoor, P K Bansal, Ashwini Kumar etc.  (Today, the union home minister
says, unabashedly, that this BJP government is not the UPA government and no
minister shall resign!) We can go back even earlier to expose the BJP's
current duplicity. Atal Behari Vajpayee in December 1995 said, "We don't
want a debate for debate's sake" demanding the resignation of the then
communication minister Sukh Ram.



Surely, two wrongs do not make a right.  The point is not to score points
with the BJP on what they said when they were in the opposition.  In this
context, it is important to underline the constitutionally mandated
responsibilities of the parliament.



Specifying separation of powers and spelling out the mechanics to work in
harmony where the three wings - executive, legislature and the judiciary -
play a joint and participatory role, our Constitution defines the centrality
of the will of the people. The preamble defines this most eloquently by
stating, "We, the people of India" and "do hereby Adopt, Enact and Give to
ourselves this Constitution". The eternal message is the sovereignty of the
people and its primacy in our constitutional system.  The people exercise
this sovereignty through their elected parliamentarians who, in turn, are
accountable to the people by making the government accountable to the
parliament.  The executive and the legislature given their responsibility
under the Constitution to manage public affairs are in the final analysis
accountable to the people. Accountability, in fact, differentiates democracy
from other systems of governance.



The effectiveness of the parliament in ensuring such accountability by the
government is paramount for "good governance".  PM Modi and the BJP had
campaigned ad nauseum in the 2014 general elections that they will provide
good governance as opposed to the `paralysis' and `silence' of the Dr
Manmohan Singh government.  By negating the parliament's discharge of its
important responsibility of making the government accountable, they are
seriously undermining "good governance", in fact, negating it.



The parliament, thus, can only ensure executive accountability through
effective legislative scrutiny not through a debate but by pressurising the
executive to order an investigation into the allegations. This BJP
government is escaping being accountable behind the veil of conducting a
"debate for debate's sake".  It is this BJP government that is today, thus,
causing parliamentary disruptions.



Further, the BJP argues that the recommendations given by the external
affairs minister and the Rajasthan chief minister do not constitute an act
of corruption. This is patently wrong.  The Prevention of Corruption Act
1988, article 13 (1) (d) (iii) states: "while holding office as a public
servant, obtains for any person any valuable thing or pecuniary advantage
without any public interest;".  Surely, obtaining a travel document from a
foreign country for an individual staying abroad to escape action under
Indian law and when the Indian passport of this fugitive is declared invalid
under Indian law, is a `valuable thing' and `without any public interest'.
This is corruption, plain and simple.



In this context, recollect how a western democracy deals with similar
situations. The resignation of Peter Mandelson from the Tony Blair
government in the UK is appropriate. In early 2001, British media reported
that Mandelson had raised money for the `millennium dome' from the  Hinduja
brothers, in return for a `favour' of securing a passport for one of them,
Srichand. The passport was delivered within six months of applying against
the average 20 months, in breach of the British Nationality Act, 1981. This
was done on the basis of Mandelson's recommendation to the immigration
minister in the UK home office.  There was a hue and cry in the British
parliament. Mandelson had to resign though Srichand Hinduja was not accused
of wrongdoings and was not a fugitive from justice. Also the `millennium
dome' was a national edifice not involving any personal pecuniary gain.
Further, there was no suggestion of any "cosy relationship" between
Mandelson and Srichand Hinduja unlike in the present instance (both external
affairs minister and Rajasthan chief minister have publicly stated their
closeness to Lalit Modi).  It was the sheer impropriety in the act
recommendation for which Mandelson had to resign.



Here in India, persons committing graver offences are being protected by
this BJP government! Such is the `good governance' that PM Modi promised to
deliver in 2014. Such promises cannot be allowed to be betrayed. This Modi
government must be made accountable to the parliament and, through it, to
the people.

U.S. vs. Iraq: 25 Years And Counting
By Mickey Z.

http://www.countercurrents.org/mickeyz310715.htm

While Aug. 6, of course, marks the 70th anniversary of the nuking of Hiroshima, it also marks a quarter-century since the U.S. war against Iraq was initially launched. For most people -- particularly willfully ignorant anti-war activists -- the starting date for the war in Iraq is March 19, 2003. However, to accept that date is to put far too much blame on one party and one president. A more accurate and useful starting date is Aug. 6, 1990 when -- at the behest of the United States -- the United Nations Security Council imposed murderous sanctions upon the people of Iraq


Retributive Justice Is Injustice, Your Lordships
By Samar

http://www.countercurrents.org/samar310715.htm

Yakub Memon is dead and gone. It is just that his death has brought the debate on capital punishment back on the table and it is time the civil society makes a final push for its abolishment. If it fails, there will, from time to time, be dramaticmidnight hearings that make the system look superficially like a just one. And the legal murders following pretentious hearings will not stop


Execution To Satisfy The 'Hurt Ego'Of A Divided Society
By Vidya Bhushan Rawat

http://www.countercurrents.org/rawat310715.htm

Seriously speaking one has to understand whether retribution has ever helped any one or not. In the criminal justice system focus is too much on the 'accused' but no effort is made to help the 'victims'. It is the victims who suffer and have to endure the pain for life but for the power it is the shortest route that once you 'punish' the 'accused' justice is done and case is closed. Ordinary people will not ask so many questions as an atmosphere is created around the accused hence forgetting their own pain they too feel once retribution is done, justice is done


Obama's "Safe Zone" In Syria Will Inflame The War Zone
By Shamus Cooke

http://www.countercurrents.org/cooke310715.htm

The road to war is paved with a thousand lies. A fresh fib was tossed on the lie-cluttered war path to Syria, when it was announced that the U.S. and Turkey would create a "safe zone" inside of Syria — supposedly to be aimed against ISIS. This "safe zone" is a major escalation of war, but it was described in soft tones by the media. In reality a "safe zone" is a "no-fly zone," meaning that a nation is planning to implement military air superiority inside the boundaries of another nation. It's long recognized by the international community and U.S. military personnel as a major act of war. In a war zone an area is made "safe" by destroying anything in it or around that appears threatening


Revolting World
By Robert J. Burrowes

http://www.countercurrents.org/burrowes310715.htm

There is much that is revolting about the current world and Andre Vltchek, Christopher Black and Peter Koenig are well placed to document it, which they have done in their new book 'The World Order and Revolution! Essays from the Resistance'


Paradise Burning: Why We All Need To Learn The Word "Anthropogenic"
By Subhankar Banerjee

http://www.countercurrents.org/banerjee310715.htm

The wettest rainforest in the continental United States had gone up in flames and the smoke was so thick, so blanketing, that you could see it miles away. Deep in Washington's Olympic National Park, the aptly named Paradise Fire, undaunted by the dampness of it all, was eating the forest alive and destroying an ecological Eden. In this season of drought across the West, there have been far bigger blazes but none quite so symbolic or offering quite such grim news. It isn't the size of the fire (though it is the largest in the park's history), nor its intensity. It's something else entirely -- the fact that it shouldn't have been burning at all. When fire can eat a rainforest in a relatively cool climate, you know the Earth is beginning to burn. And here's the thing: the Olympic Peninsula is my home. Its destruction is my personal nightmare and I couldn't stay away


Roaring Nature: A Call For Personal Change
By Mir Faizan Anwar

http://www.countercurrents.org/anwar310715.htm

Everything that surrounds us has purposeful balance. From tiny organisms that go unnoticed to giant mammals, microflora to mighty trees, deep oceans to towering mountains, there is a manner and framework. Space with unimaginable celestial bodies, the sun and the moon have perfection. In this puzzling universe, humans curiously have a significant position, top among creatures' list, the cream and jugular vein. However, this wayward human has openly defied nature, looted its resources and left it screaming. It looks difficult to come out of bars and cages of greediness unless we introspect and understand the purpose of life


Obama And The Sheep Dog Syndrome
By Thomas C. Mountain

http://www.countercurrents.org/mountain310715.htm

Barack Hussain Obama represents a text book case of the Sheep Dog Syndrome, as in a well trained dog used to control the American Sheeple, leading them either to a sheering or worse case, the slaughter


Poverty And Child Brain Damage
By Thomas Riggins

http://www.countercurrents.org/riggins310715.htm

When it comes to how USA treat children, it's telling to find out that UNICEF ranks the U.S. at 34 out of 35 industrialized countries (we beat out Romania but eight other former east European socialist countries take better care of their children than we do)


A Juvenile Response By Elected Representatives
By Emarine Kharbhih

http://www.countercurrents.org/kharbhih310715.htm

There is little substance to the Juvenile Justice (Amendment) Bill, 2014. With little sense of direction, the Bill seems to have been made under political pressure and public outcry in order to calm the outrage and maintain the ideological balance of power in politics. The functions of the Juvenile Justice Board and the Child Welfare Committee is evidently low on performance, with 175 million children in India still marginalised, 144 million deemed to be destitute, 25 million orphaned, and 40,000 juveniles in conflict with law, living in institutes. The government needs to reflect on its own shadow and understand that the Bill should be more proactive rather just being a well-articulated piece of legislation


What About Innovating Beyond The Growth Trap?
A Challenge To The Ecofiscal Commission's Growth Fixation
By James Magnus-Johnston

http://www.countercurrents.org/johnston310715.htm

A new voice has emerged recently in Canada called the "Ecofiscal Commission," which could have the funding, clout, and determination to steer the country in a more promising direction. The group includes high-profile economists, former political leaders, and high-powered financiers. They define "ecofiscal policy" as something that "corrects market price signals to encourage the economic activities we do want (job creation, investment, and innovation) while reducing those we don't want (greenhouse gas emissions and the pollution of our land, air, and water)." There seems to be a semblance of steady state thinking among this otherwise rather conventional lot


How #AllLivesMatter And #BlackLivesMatter Can Devalue Life
By Sam Husseini

http://www.countercurrents.org/husseini310715.htm

It may be possible to honor the noblest possible intent in #BlackLivesMatter: That we should rush to aid those lives that are disregarded by many. Likewise for #AllLivesMatter: We should be universal and apply the principle of veneration of the value of life truly to all. Both impulses in their best form would argue to seriously scrutinize the U.S. government's role as global rogue cop -- a "cop" more dangerous than the most violent, racist police operating in the U.S. today


Viet Nam A Half Century Later
By David Swanson

http://www.countercurrents.org/swanson310715.htm

Nine leaders of the U.S. antiwar movement of the 1960s have put their current thoughts down in a forthcoming book called The People Make the Peace: Lessons from the Vietnam Antiwar Movement. Those contributing to this book, and who recently returned to Vietnam together, are Rennie Davis, Judy Gumbo, Alex Hing, Doug Hostetter, Jay Craven, Becca Wilson, John McAuliff, Myra MacPherson, and Nancy Kurshan. Their insights into the war, the Vietnamese culture, and U.S. culture, and the peace movement are priceless


Darker Horizons Ahead: Rethinking The War On 'IS'
By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud310715.htm

As much of the Middle East sinks deeper into division between competing political camps, the so-called 'Islamic State' ('IS') continues its unhindered march towards a twisted version of a Muslim caliphate. Many thousands have lost their lives, some in the most torturous ways, so that 'IS' may realize its nightmarish dream


The 1965 War: An Army Wife Remembers

By Ghulam Mohammad Khan

To understand the amount of truth and practicality of the Foucauldian assertion, an analysis of the anatomy of social and political system in Kashmir would be considerably a better option. If Kashmir be the 'enclosed, segmented space', the nature of its political power, historically a hegemonic institution of social oppression would be it's, what Foucault calls 'disciplinary mechanism'. Every Kashmiri unwittingly participates in this mechanism, which had over the period of time produced a powerful discourse of knowledge of its own in the form of laws, of policies and manifestoes

"ਦੋਹਰਾ ਕਿਰਦਾਰ"

ਪਿਛਲੇ ਕੁਝ ਹਫਤਿਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਚੋਂ ਆਏ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਲੀਡਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਵਿਦੇਸ਼ ਫੇਰੀ ਤੇ ਵਾਹਵਾ ਚਰਚਾ ਹੋ ਚੁਕੀ ਹੈ, ਸ਼ਿਰੋਮਣੀ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਦਲ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨ ਸ. ਸੁਖਬੀਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਬਾਦਲ ਵਲੋਂ ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ ਡਿਉਟੀਆਂ ਲਾ ਕੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਲੀਡਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਵਖ - ਵਖ ਦੇਸ਼ਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਭੇਜਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸੀ ਪੰਜਾਬੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਪ੍ਰਤੀ ਪਏ ਭਰਮ ਭੁਲੇਖੇ ਦੂਰ ਕੀਤੇ ਜਾਣ. ਇਸ ਮਕਸਦ ਚ ਬਹੁਤ ਵੱਡੀ ਕਾਮਯਾਬੀ ਵੀ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ, ਸੀਨੀਅਰ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਲੀਡਰਾਂ ਨੇ ਛੋਟੇ ਵਡੇ ਇੱਕਠ ਕਰਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਸਿਧਾ ਰਾਬਤਾ ਕਾਇਮ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਦੀਆਂ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਕਾਰਗਰ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਦਿੱਤੀ. 
ਪ੍ਰੰਤੂ ਕੁਝ ਤਾਕਤਾਂ ਵਲੋਂ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਮੀਟਿੰਗਾਂ ਦੀ ਨੁਕਤਾਚੀਨੀ ਵੀ ਕੀਤੀ ਗਈ , ਜੋ ਕਿ ਲੋਕਤੰਤਰ ਵਿਚ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਨਯੋਗ ਹੈ. ਹੱਦ ਓਦੋ ਹੋਈ ਜਦੋਂ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਦਲ ਦੀਆਂ ਸਿਆਸੀ ਵਿਰੋਧੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀਆਂ ਵਲੋਂ ਸ਼ਾਲੀਨਤਾ ਦੀਆਂ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਹੱਦਾਂ ਤੋੜਦਿਆਂ ਹੋਇਆਂ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਸਟੇਜਾਂ ਤੇ ਹਮਲੇ ਕਰਕੇ ਕਬਜ਼ਾ ਕਰਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਕੋਸਿਸ਼ਾ ਕੀਤੀਆਂ. ਗੁੰਡਾਗਰਦੀ ਦਾ ਨੰਗਾ ਨਾਚ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਹੋਇਆਂ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਵਰਕਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਖਿਚ ਧੂਹ ਕੀਤੀ ਗਈ ਅਤੇ ਗੰਦੀਆਂ ਗਾਹਲਾਂ ਕਢੀਆਂ ਗਈਆਂ . ਇਥੋਂ ਤਕ ਕਿ ਔਰਤਾਂ ਤੇ ਹਥ ਚੁਕਿਆ ਗਿਆ. ਓਹ ਸ਼ਾਇਦ ਭੁਲ ਗਏ ਕਿ ਐਸੇ ਹਿੰਸਕ ਪ੍ਰਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਕੈਨੇਡਾ ਵਰਗੇ ਦੇਸ਼ ਵਿਚ ਕਿਸੇ ਵੀ ਪਖੋਂ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਨਿਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਨ, ਜਿਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਨਿਰਪਖ ਅਤੇ ਸੁਹਿਰਦ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਵੀ ਕੀਤੀ ਗਈ. ਸ਼ਾਇਦ ਇਹ ਲੋਕ ਅਕਾਲੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਆਮ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਸਿਧੇ ਮੇਲ ਮਿਲਾਪ ਨੂੰ ਬਰਦਾਸ਼ਤ ਨਹੀ ਕਰ ਸਕੇ, ਇਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਲਗਾ ਕਿ ਸਾਡੇ 7 -8 ਸਾਲ ਦੇ ਕੀਤੇ ਝੂਠੇ ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰ ਦਾ ਪਰਦਾਫਾਸ਼ ਨਾ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇ , ਇਸ ਲਈ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਮੁਠੀ ਭਰ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਵਲੋਂ ਡੇਮੋਕ੍ਰੇਸੀ ਦੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਅਸੂਲ ਭੰਗ ਕਰਕੇ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਮੀਟਿੰਗਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਰੋਕਣ ਦੀ ਕੋਸਿਸ਼ ਕੀਤੀ.
ਇਸ ਸਾਰੇ ਘਟਨਾਚੱਕਰ ਚ ਕੁਝ ਸ਼ਰਾਰਤੀ ਲੋਕ ਤਾਂ ਪਰਦੇ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਹਰ ਆਏ ਹੀ ਹਨ, ਇਸ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਨਾਲ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਸਹਿਯੋਗੀ ਓਹਨਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੇ ਚੇਹਰੇ ਵੀ ਨੰਗੇ ਹੋਏ ਹਨ ਜਿਹਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਹਥ ਬਦਕਿਸਮਤੀ ਨਾਲ ਮਾਈਕ ਜਾਂ ਕਲਮ ਆਈ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ. ਓਹਨਾਂ ਵਲੋਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਾਧਿਅਮ ਦੇ ਰਾਹੀ ਬਹੁਤ ਸ਼ਾਤਰਿਤਾ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਐਸੇ ਐਸੇ ਅਸੂਲ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਲੀਡਰਾਂ ਤੇ ਲਾਗੂ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਜੋ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਕਿਸੇ ਹੋਰ ਪਾਰਟੀ ਦੇ ਲੀਡਰ ਤੇ ਕਦੇ ਵੀ ਨਹੀ ਸਨ ਲਾਗੂ ਹੋਏ. ਮਸਲਨ - ਇਹ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਲੀਡਰ ਇਥੇ ਕਰਨ ਕੀ ਆਏ ਹਨ, ਇਹ ਕੈਨੇਡਾ ਦਾ ਮਹੌਲ ਖਰਾਬ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ, ਅਕਾਲੀ ਲੀਡਰ ਕੈਨੇਡਾ ਆ ਕਿ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੀ ਸਿਆਸਤ ਦੀ ਗਲ ਕਿਓਂ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ. ਜਦੋਂ ਕਿ ਬੀਤੇ ਸਮੇ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਵਿਰੋਧੀ ਲੀਡਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਇਹੋ ਲੋਕ ਖੁਲ ਕਿ ਸਪੋਰਟ ਵੀ ਕਰਦੇ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਸਿਧੇ ਜਾਂ ਅਸਿਧੇ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਓਹਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਮਦਦ ਵੀ ਕਰਦੇ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ. ਮਿਸਾਲ ਦੇ ਤੌਰ ਤੇ ਮਨਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਬਾਦਲ ਅਤੇ ਭਗਵੰਤ ਮਾਨ ਦੇ ਹਕ਼ ਵਿਚ ਇਹ ਲੋਕ ਕਿਸ ਤਰਾਂ ਦਲੀਲਾਂ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਸਨ ਆਪਾਂ ਸਾਰੇ ਜਾਣਦੇ ਹਾਂ . 
ਸਵਾਲ ਇਹ ਪੈਦਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਓਦੋ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਸ਼ਰਤਾਂ ਕਿਓਂ ਨਹੀ ਯਾਦ ਆਈਆਂ ਜੋ ਅਜ ਇਹ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਲੀਡਰਾਂ ਤੇ ਲਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ? ਇਹਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਦੋਗਲੇ ਕਿਰਦਾਰ ਦੀ ਇਕ ਹੋਰ ਝਲਕ ਦੇਖੋ - ਇਕ ਪਾਸੇ ਤਾਂ ਇਹ ਆਵਾਜ਼ਾਂ ਹਿੰਸਕ ਪ੍ਰਦਰਸ਼ਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੇ ਰੋਹ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਵਾਜਿਬ ਠਿਹਰਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਦੂਜੇ ਪਾਸੇ ਸਵਾਲ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਕੀ ਸ. ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ ਸਿੰਘ ਬਾਦਲ ਖੁਦ ਕਿਓਂ ਨਹੀ ਕੈਨੇਡਾ ਆ ਰਹੇ? ਵਡਾ ਸਵਾਲ ਤੇ ਇਹ ਖੜਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਅਸੀਂ ਲੋਕ ਬਾਦਲ ਸਾਹਬ ਦੇ ਕੈਨੇਡਾ ਆਉਣ ਤੇ ਓਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਣਨ ਦੇ ਕਾਬਿਲ ਹਾਂ ? ਜੇ ਅਸੀਂ ਵਿਰੋਧ ਵੀ ਕਰਨਾ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਕੀ ਅਸੀਂ ਸਭਿਅਕ ਵਿਰੋਧ ਕਰਨੇ ਜੋਗੇ ਹਾਂ ? ਕੀ ਵਿਰੋਧ ਕਰਨੇ ਵਾਲੇ ਸਮੇ ਦੇ ਹਾਣੀ ਹਨ? ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਸ਼ਰਾਰਤੀ ਤਾਕਤਾਂ ਦਾ ਡੱਟ ਕਿ ਵਿਰੋਧ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਸੀ, ਫੇਰ ਬਾਦਲ ਸਾਹਬ ਦੇ ਕੈਨੇਡਾ ਆਉਣ ਦੀ ਮੰਗ ਚੁਕਣੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ ਸੀ . ਪ੍ਰੰਤੂ ਪੁਰਾਣੀ ਆਦਤ ਮੁਤਾਬਿਕ ਇਹ ਲੋਕ ਦੋਵਾਂ ਹਥਾਂ ਚ ਲਡੂ ਰਖ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ, ਇਕ ਪਾਸੇ ਵਿਰੋਧ ਕਰਨੇ ਵਾਲੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਹਿੰਸਕ ਢੰਗਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਇਜ਼ ਠਿਹਰਾ ਕਿ ਅਕਾਲੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਅਸਿਧੇ ਰੂਪ ਚ ਡਰਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ, ਅਤੇ ਦੂਜੇ ਪਾਸੇ ਬਾਦਲ ਸਾਹਬ ਨੂੰ ਕੈਨੇਡਾ ਆਉਣ ਲੈ ਉਕਸਾ ਵੀ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ. 
ਹੈਰਾਨੀ ਦੀ ਹੱਦ ਤੇ ਓਦੋ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਜਦੋਂ ਚੌਵੀ ਘੰਟੇ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਦਾ ਰਾਗ ਅਲਾਪਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਮੰਤਰੀਆਂ ਤੇ ਤਵਾ ਲਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਥੇ ਕਰਨ ਕੀ ਆਏ ਹੋ? ਓਹ ਭਲਿਓ - ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਅਖਬਾਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਪੰਨੇ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੀਆਂ ਖਬਰਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਅਕਾਲੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਨਾਲ ਭਰੀਆਂ ਹੁੰਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ, ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮਾਂ ਚ ਤਿੰਨ ਤਿੰਨ ਘੰਟੇ ਲਗਾਤਾਰ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਬਾਰੇ ਚਰਚਾ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੀਆਂ ਖਬਰਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਚਰਚਾ ਕਰਨੇ ਲਈ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਤੋਂ "ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼" ਮਹਿਮਾਨ ਸੱਦੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ. ਤੇ ਹੁਣ ਜਦੋ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਦੇ ਨੁਮਾਇੰਦੇ ਖੁਦ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਕੋਲੇ ਆ ਗਏ ਤਾਂ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕੰਨੀ ਕਤਰਾ ਕਿ ਅਜੀਬੋ ਗਰੀਬ ਸਵਾਲ ਚੁਕਣ ਲਗ ਪਏ . ਕੀ ਕੋਈ ਅੰਦਰੂਨੀ ਡਰ ਸਤਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ ਜਾਂ ਕਿਸੇ ਪੋਲ ਖੁਲਣ ਦਾ ਡਰ ਹੈ ? ਕਿਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਤੇ ਸਥਾਨਿਕ ਸਿਆਸਤ ਤਾਂ ਨੀ ਭਾਰੂ ਹੋ ਗਈ? ਕਿਓਂ ਕਿ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਵਲੋਂ ਕੁਝ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਲੀਡਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਵਿਰੋਧ ਅਤੇ ਕੁਝ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਲੀਡਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਵਾਗਤ ਕਰਨਾ ਤੇ ਇਹੋ ਦਰਸਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸਥਾਨਕ ਘੜਮ ਚੌਧਰੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਇਸ਼ਾਰਿਆਂ ਤੇ ਨਚ ਰਹੇ ਹੋ. 
ਸੋ ਸਮੇਂ ਦੀ ਨਬਜ਼ ਨੂੰ ਪਛਾਣੋ ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਪੇਸ਼ੇ ਦੇ ਸਹੀ ਫਰਜ਼ ਨਿਭਾਉਂਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੇ ਚੁਣੇ ਹੋਏ ਲੀਡਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਤਿਕਾਰ ਕਾਇਮ ਰਖਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਜੀ ਸਦਕੇ ਓਹਨਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਤਿਖੇ ਸਵਾਲ ਪੁਛੋ, ਪਰ ਸਤਿਕਾਰ ਦੀ ਮਰਿਆਦਾ ਜਰੂਰ ਕਾਇਮ ਰਹਣੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ ਹੈ. ਲੋਕਤੰਤਰ ਚ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਨਿਤ ਢੰਗਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਹੋਏ ਵਿਰੋਧ ਨੂੰ ਜਰੂਰ ਜਗ੍ਹਾ ਦਿਓ, ਪਰ ਹਿੰਸਕ ਪ੍ਰਦ੍ਰ੍ਸ਼ਨਾ ਦੀ ਖੁਲਕੇ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਵੀ ਕਰੋ. ਕਿਓਂ ਕਿ ਇਥੋ ਦਾ ਮਹੌਲ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਤੋਂ ਆਏ ਹੋਏ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਨਹੀ, ਇਥੋਂ ਦੇ ਕੁਝ ਸ਼ਰਾਰਤੀ ਲੋਕ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ,
