I think he wanted to get support from the UP farmers leader, but he is not getting involved in politics

I thought from when I first saw Rajewal he looked 'off'

He is 78! Maybe he has seen the example of old man Biden and got inspiration

Balbir Singh Rajewal (born 20 August 1943) is a farm union leader and politician. He is founder of Bharatiya Kisan Union (Rajewal) and the Chief Ministerial candidate of Sanyukt Samaj Morcha party for the 2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly election. Rajewal is known for his active participation in 2020 Farmers' protest.[3]

Early life[edit]

Rajewal was born on 20 August 1943. He started his career as a telegraphist in the post and telegraph department but in 1968 he resigned from his job.[4]

Farmer activist[edit]

In May 1972, Rajewal formed Punjab Khetibari Union with merger of 11 peasants group in Chandigarh.[5]

When in 1978, PKU transformed into Bharatiya Kisan Union, he was appointed as Secretary of the Union.[4] He is also credited with writing the Constitution of BKU. He also worked with Mahendra Singh Tikait and Sharad Anantrao Joshi. In 2009, he went on hunger strike and demanded relief for farmers under draught funds and then Government granted 800 crore rupees for the same.[4]

In 2020, Government of India passed three farm acts, along with other 31 Farmer Unions in Punjab,[6] he started protest against these laws in Punjab and then at Singhu Border near Delhi at Haryana.[7] He is also the member of Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM).

Politics[edit]

Rajewal has been close to various political parties in past, including Shiromani Akali Dal, Indian National Congress, and Aam Aadmi Party, but didn’t accept any official post.[8] During 2020-2021 Farmer's protest, he was against any political participation.[9]

The comrades who have never won more than 1 or 2 seats throughout their history in Punjab now see that they can use the repeal of the farm laws to become politically active. No matter what 'sewa' this guy Swaiman Singh did, his ideology is anti-Sikh.  He is devious to the core.  It is looking like some deal was done in Delhi that Rajewal and the comrades would divide the vote in Punjab and hence the BJP which would have lost badly any seats that they fought in would be able to get a dozen or on seats just because on the division of the votes.

I am really confused about it all.  Agree with commrades, they were against Sant Ji too. But Idk he seems too smart to be commrade, could be a case of faking it (playing politics but he is panthic at core)  and wants the best for Punjab. I am talking reality he seems only 'good' leader Punjab has had in long time that can bring change to Punjab.

Can anyone openly support Sant Ji and run in Punjab without any risk? 

He has done immense seva for the kissans though. You can't discredit that despite his views.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
