The border country faces the risk of extremism from enemies throughout the border and inside. a long time after the long spell of militancy got here to a quiet, attack on Pathankot air base in January 2016 and Dinanagar police station in July 2015 gave way to fear of the revival of terrorism.
The spate of incidents of sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib inside the recent months helped Sikh radicals get greater politically mobile beforehand of the excessive-octane elections. They held a congregation — Sarbat Khalsa remaining yr at Amritsar. The separatist schedule is getting a push from organizations and advocacy groups overseas including Sikhs for Justice (SFJ).
Punjab Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh, whose Canada excursion become stalled following a criticism by using SFJ, and his US trip marred with the aid of protests through radicals, has even hinted at extremists having the sympathy of a few Canadian ministers.
Even though the Parkash Singh Badal authorities has been blaming foreign hand in all this, it can not get away the responsibility for dropping the grip on regulation and order. The daytime homicide of Namdhari sect matriarch Chand Kaur and assault on RSS leader Jagdish Gagneja, who later succumbed to his injuries, have uncovered how outlaws are becoming emboldened. The reality that the government needed to suggest each those cases to the crucial Bureau of investigation (CBI) indicates both the home department headed with the aid of unhappy president and deputy CM Sukhbir Badal is clueless or incompetent to handle those factors.
