16 point program given to fill the political vacuum in Punjab
Batala: 28 August 2024: (Naxalbari Screen Bureau)::
At one time the Naxalbari movement was also raised with great enthusiasm in Punjab. This movement of sacrifices not only created a new history for a new political alternative but also a lot of new things came in the literary field inspired by this movement's ideology. Many writers, many poets, many journalists, many stage artists and many magazines also appeared before the public. Although their printed appearance was not very expensive, the demand for these leaflets was high.
Hem Jyoti, Syad, Rohle Baan, Maa, Sardal and many other magazines became popular too. This movement gained further momentum when Sardar Barjinder Singh Hamdard, the current editor of Ajit newspaper and founder editor and publisher of the then Parche Drishti, published a long list of Naxalbari workers and leaders who were martyred in the struggle. With this special content of this leaflet, where the Naxalite ideology came to the fore, the readership of this leaflet also widened.
When the situation changed, most factions of Naxals turned from armed struggle to ideological struggles. On the other hand, the government in Punjab also left no stone unturned in suppressing and crushing this movement with full force. Jaswant Singh Kanwal Huran's novel "Blood Di Low" was not just a story or fiction. The novel was like a documentary. This novel is read with great interest even today. This literature is discussed even after the movement is over.
Despite the reality of the end of the movement, the sparks inside continued to burn. Even after the suppression by the government, the discussions and attempts of reincarnation continued like Kuknus in this movement. After the suppression claims, the movement actually took time in many places and forms. Its invisible form continued to be felt by people for a long time. The feeling of regret of those who did not come forward freely in this movement due to government jobs or other compulsions also kept coming out in their writings. SS Misha, a senior officer of Akashwani Jalandhar, wrote:
Lehran Saddia Si Sanu vi isharian de naal, Sathon Moh Tod hoia Na Kinarian de naal!
(The waves had invited us with gestures! We were not disillusioned with the shores!)
Slowely that love of many people also broke and their courage came openly. People had started to realize that there was no option left without struggles. Those feelings also drew many people to the new color of the Naxalbari movement. CPIML Liberation created a new history despite controversies and protests. The Naxalite activists who were sitting in despair in their homes were encouraged and taken out of their homes and brought to the battlegrounds. This party held many successful conventions in Punjab like other states of the country. The issues of Punjab were also raised strongly in these conventions.
Political Conference of CPIML Liberation was held today at Faiz Pura Road Liberation Office which was jointly chaired by Dalbir Bhola Malkwal, Ramandeep Pindi and Bachan Singh Machania. Speaking at this time, Liberation District Secretary Gulzar Singh Bhumbali, Sukhdev Singh Bhagokawan and Liberation State Secretary Comrade Gurmeet Singh Bakhatpura said that the law and order situation in Punjab is getting worse, looting, extortion, drugs, sand mafia and land mafia. has a common eloquence. The seats of teachers and doctors are not being filled in educational institutions and health institutions.
Bakhatpura said that there is a political vacuum in Punjab, to fill which Liberation has scheduled a 16-point program in which efforts will be made to get employment and to include employment in basic rights. Making MNREGA employment 200 days and daily wage Rs 700, legalizing the minimum support price of farmers' jeans, opening the Wagah border for trade, removing the condition of passport for visiting Kartarpur Sahib, eliminating corruption, 12-hour daily wage. Questions like bringing back the law, solving the political issues of Punjab on riparian principles, including Punjab's capital Chandigarh and Punjabi-speaking areas in Punjab will be strongly raised.
In this way, the coming time is knocking sharp conflicts in the near future. Along with the issues raised by the left parties, the issues of Punjab and sectarian parties will also be included which have been largely forgotten by many sectarian parties. The slogan of adding Chandigarh and Punjabi speaking areas to Punjab seems to be rising again.
At this time, Deepo Badowal Khurd, Kajal Badowal Khurd, Bachan Singh Teja, Buta Talwandi Nahar and Harpreet Badowal Khurd, Banti Rora Pindi and Pinta Talwandi Bharath were involved.
