Homage to Martyrs Com Gurmail Singh Hunjan and Com Joginder Singh
PandherKhedi: (Ludhiana): 14 may 2014: (Punjab Screen Bureau):
The Communist Party of India (CPI) has flayed the Akali - BJP Government in Punjab for its promotion of the mafia of various types and blatant intervention in the police affairs which has led to deterioration of law and order in the state. The latest case of acquittal of all the culprits in the Sarabha Nagar shoot out case has thoroughly exposed the government and the role of police, because of which people involved in public shootout be acquitted even though the two groups reached a compromise. This public shootout threatened the lives of innocent people therefore the people involved should have been booked under relevant IPC act. This was stated by several speakers addressing the gathering on the occasion of 25th martyrdom anniversary of Com Gurmail Singh Hunjan and Com Joginder Singh who fought against separatist designs of Khalisatni terrorists and laid down their lives for integrity and sovereignty of the country, a mammoth public meeting was organised under the president ship of Mrs.Harbans Kaur at their native village Pandher Kheri, Block Dehlon, Distt. Ludhiana where like previous years thousands of people gathered  to pay homage to the beloved leaders. While paying homage Com Com Bant Singh Brar- Punjab State Secretary CPI praised the glorious role of comrades in Punjab who did not care for their lives to save integrity of the nation during the days of terrorism in Punjab. He cautioned that similar danger signals are appearing again. It is a serious matter that the present Akali BJP government is completely ignoring such development and sheltering such elements. Com Brar further cautioned said that communists have dual challenge of fighting fundamentalism as well as struggle for socio economic justice. After the neoliberal economic policies the working class, peasantry and other toiling masses are hit hard due to job freeze, under employment, insecurity of jobs, violation of labour laws with impunity, rising prices of essential items and inability to afford the high cost of health and education. The super rich are being given subsidies while the govt. is taking away all subsidies from the poor people.  In Punjab, he said, the public sector is being scuttled blatantly. Referring to the transport he said he said that whereas the govt. run buses are being run on non profit timings, the private buses owned by the CM and his kins are being given tax concessions and highly profitable timings causing immense loss to the exchequer. As a result of the neo liberal policies promoting mad race for money there are occurring scams of  unprecedented level.

Com Kartar Singh Bowani – Distt. Secretary CPI said that the deteriorating law and order situation in Punjab is a very serious matter. He expressed deep concern at the falling economic condition of the farmers in Punjab leading to suicide by them. Others who paid tribute to the martyrs include Dr.Arun Mitra, Com O.P.Mehta, S.Tej Parkash Singh, S. Malkit Dakha, S. Lakhvir Singh Lakha, Com.Gulzar Goria, Amar Singh Bhattian, Mewa Singh-Raikot, Bhagwan Singh-Maloud, Com D.P.Maur, Dr.Gulzar Pandher, Principal Jagjit Singh, Com.Paramjit Sehora, Com.Kulwant Singh Hunjan also gave tribute to the martyrs. The meritorious school students were awarded. School children recited patriotic poems. Revolutionary songs were presented.
