He talks about Simranjit Singh Mann in that interview.

& if that ain't motivation enough for ya ..

then this interview particularly focuses on his views on periods of militancy/terrorism in Punjab.

How he views his 17 yrs in Jail.

The interview is okay. It hurts me when badal sahib and the Shekhar Gupta claims that people

Of Punjab have forget 80s & 90s as bad dream. ( they give example thats while all votes are coming to badal shahb, Mann's akali dal gets only 1300 votes in recent election in amritsar)

Forgetting it as bad dream is slap on face

Of many people who died. I am not saying remember and starts hate people around.

But giving respect to dead and learn the lesson to see no blood shed is done in future while at

Same time try get our rights back in democratic way.

punjab vichh

2 lakh sikh mar ke

sikhan nu dra ke

lakhan nu baahrle deshan vichh bhaja ke

nasha vund ke

ajadi de sapne nu kamjor karan lai

sikh kaum de nojwana nu nsherdi bna ke

ih prapat kiti jit jo ki asal vichh haar hai

ihi kaum mehnti aukhwaondi c

hindustan nu dushamana ton bachondi c

sare hindustan da dhid bhardi c

hun ki karonge

jadon fir koi nadir shah aya

koi angrej aya

anakh tan hinduan di apni pehlan hi muri hoi c

hun sikhan nu kuchalke ohna bahadura nu marke

ki desh nu bachha paonge

why would any Sikh beleive a word the dog badal says?

[er_gurjot]

who really cares bout this?

[mann_kaum_layee_qurbaan]

actually the video is very interesting..watch it very carefully, ignore the fact that badal is a sellout, listen to what he says.

Gupta tries to get Badal to say that jarnail singh bhindrawaala was a terrorist, but Badal dodges the point and talks about the congress party and their behavior with the sikhs. Gupta wants Badal to talk about how terrorists made punjab a horrible place to live, but Badal dodges it again and blames the congress. badal talks about how so may of his akali comrades were killed by the congress, yet gupta interrupts and says terrorists, basically putting words in his mouth.

the whole time gupta was trying to get badal to denounce jarnail singh ji and sikh militants, but badal was quite clever as he knows the place sikh kahrkoos have in the sikh panth. he's a clever politician.

the interview is a great exaple of the hindu sikh relationship. the hindu interviewer is hearing what he wants to hear from badal even though badal is saying something else. he talks about jarnail singh bhindrawaala but badal doesn't dare to go there, yet gupta misses it, that jarnail singh is not seen as a terrorist to badal. just not on the same page.

badal actually mentions some very important things, such as the emergency, the fact that chandigarh wasn't given to punjab, the creation of punjab state, pitting sikhs against hindus for political gains, etc etc. the funny thing is taht none of these issues are resolved, and Gupta acts as if though all is well in Punjab. he fails to realize that ll the greivances taht badal mentioned are still unresolved.

peace.
