There are three major action within Punjab in a gap of four days. First news comes that Amritpal Singh, who is lodged in Dibrugarh Central Jail in Assam and his 7 colleagues will return to Punjab on allegations of terrorism. It was learned that the government headed by Bhagwant Mann has decided to remove NSA from Amritpal Singh. Meanwhile, it is known that the Punjab government has run a bulldozer at the house of the accused of drugs smugglers. Although AAP Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh protests on this issue, but the Aam Aadmi Party’s leadership stands behind Bhagwant Mann. But, the real action takes place on the night of 19 March 2025, and the Punjab government comes into national and international headlines. Bhagwant Maan Sarkar removes the farmers who have been staging a sit-in on the Punjab-Haryana border for more than a year. The farmers who could not try to hit the farmers, the Bhagwant Maan Sarkar of Punjab showed it. In a hurry, force was used to remove farmers from Shambhu and Khanouri border. It is being told that about 5,000 policemen and bulldores were used in this action. This step was taken when the farmer leader went to Chandigarh for a meeting with the representatives of the central government and some leaders were detained. It is obvious that many types of questions will be arising in your mind due to such big decisions taken in five days intervals.
1-Do Arvind want to create your image separate from Kejriwal?
The first doubt among the continuous big decisions in Punjab is whether Bhagwant Mann now wants to get out of the circle of the head of the party and the former Chief Minister of Delhi? Seeing the kind of videos that came out on the Punjab visit of Arvind Kejriwal, it seemed that Bhagwant is not the only CM Arvind Kejriwal. Meanwhile, all such reports came, which felt that Arvind Kejriwal can become CM himself by removing Bhagwant Mann. It is obvious that in such situations the chances of rebel of satraps have been increasing. After all, how long Bhagwant will work under the shadow of Arvind Kejriwal. The peasant movement was going on for a long time and this was disrupting many major roads including Delhi-Amritsar National Highway. This situation was not only causing trouble to the passengers, but the state was also facing economic losses. There were also talks of the closure of industries and impact on trade. Bhagwant Mann must have taken these decisions with the intention of creating his separate image. But this is easy to say but it was a big action to remove the farmers from the picket site. Bhagwant Maan alone could not do without any strong person without instigation.
2-Is the action of the Central Government also involved in the action of Bhagwant Mann?
One thing is also understood whether there has been a secret agreement between the central government and the state government? Because without coordination in the center, it is not possible that any state government should take such a big decision, which is also related to many states. Therefore, some people believe that this action must have been taken with the central government. Because at the time when the Center’s talks were going on with the farmer leaders, action would have been taken under the strategy at the same time. There was a reason behind this that the Supreme Court had recently asked the Punjab government to clarify the situation regarding the movement, which increased the pressure of action on the administration. However, there is no evidence for this claim.
3- Has there been a political agreement between the Aam Aadmi Party government and the BJP government at the Center?
Many people believe that the Bhagwant Maan government did not have the guts to remove the farmers. Because his party has always stood in support of farmers. Suddenly, if the Aam Aadmi Party government has taken a decision against the farmers, then it means that there has been a political agreement with the BJP government at the Center. Because taking a decision against farmers in Punjab means hitting an ax on your foot. The Aam Aadmi Party itself has been saying that the support of farmers has been the basis behind the party’s victory in Punjab. There can be a very big deal behind eliminating such a big support system.
4-Is there any connection between the removal of NSA from Amritpal and removal of agitating farmers?
This decision of the Punjab government is also being linked to the removal of NSA imposed on Amritpal Singh. Recently, Bhagwant Mann Sarkar had indicated that now all criminal cases will be heard rapidly in the state. After this, now the state police is trying to speed up action against Amritpal Singh in the case of February 2023. After the NSA is removed, now Amritpal Singh will be brought to Punjab soon. Amritpal’s family also demanded that he should be brought back to Punjab and the case against him should go here. Efforts have been made to balance the NSA on Amritpal by removing the agitated farmers from the picket site.
