Sukhpal Khaira asks Badal to emulate Maharashtra on farm loan waiver:- Sikh Press Network
CHANDIGARH: Utilising the simple instrument of writing a letter, Punjab Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira is increasingly perfecting the art of embarrassing the Akali Dal Government by raising issues of public concern in a manner that sends the Akalis scurrying for cover. After creating a piquant situation for Parkash Singh Badal and his son Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal by asking for a special session of the Punjab Assembly to pass a unanimous resolution for support for Sikhs fighting against the ban on turban in France, Sukhpal chose the New Year�s first day to fire another missile: asking for a special loan waiver for Punjab�s farmers along the lines of Maharashtra. He said this will be a most appropriate New Year gift for the farm sector. Maharashtra�s new Congress Chief Minister, Ashok Chavan, has announced a loan waiver over and above the one announced by the Central Government recently. The Rs 6,208 crore waiver will benefit about 41 lakh farmers of Maharashtra with those having pre-1997 ...

Badal backs India�s black law curtailing human rights:- Sikh Press Network
NEW DELHI: It takes real ingenuity and shameless pursuit of politics when the Khalsa panth�s stance on a crucial matter like vesting New Delhi with ever more powers in the name of tackling terrorism and enacting laws that grossly violate human rights matches the rhetoric of Gujarat mass killer Narendra Modi but Akali Dal patron and Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal is seen siding with the opposite camp. Grossly miscalculating the extent of his blunder, Badal, at a conclave of the Chief Ministers in India on Tuesday, strongly advocated the proposed National Investigating Agency (NIA), spoke against the Maoists across India as a law and order problem, and used the occasion to get even more powers, money and benefits for police. Compare this with what Gujarat CM and a much reviled man Narendra Modi told the conclave. He said the National Investigation Agency (NIA) was �contrary to our federal spirit� and an attempt at �sidetracking� the states. Badal may have stayed out of touch with the ...

Sukhbir under fire for vice like grip on cable channels :- Sikh Press Network
CHANDIGARH: Across Punjab's cities and towns, TV viewing public can now predict at ten minutes notice when a particular Punjabi news channel will go off the air. Any news that shows CM Prakash Singh Badal or his family members -- wife Surinder, son Sukhbir, daughter-in-law Harsimrat, or close kin Bikramjeet Majithia -- in poor light is taken off the cable channels within less than ten minutes, clearly not a coincidence everytime. After months of Chinese whispers that the Badals, led by the brash Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal, have adopted former CM Amarinder Singh's Punjab Today TV channel model as their own role model, Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira has now directly accused Sukhbir "forcefully taking over the cable TV business in Punjab". Khaira not only has demanded a CBI probe into the matter, he has also written to the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, claiming Sukhbir and his henchmen have taken over the cable network business in the state "through frontal cable companies such as ...
