Pain shapes a woman into a warrior and she is a warrior says Avneet’s father
By Amrit Pal Singh Brar

Avneet Kaur Sidhu is recipient of Arjuna Award and Maharaja Ranjit Singh Award.
Spokesperson of PSTSA Gaurav Sidhu said “It was painful that the sports personality who has brought the shooting sports into limelight in Punjab and considered as an icon in the state has been excluded from the recommendations list”. She is associated with the shooting sports since the last 19 years and has won around 100 medals in the International and National competitions”. She had won four Medals in 2017 in World Police and Fire Games at Los Angeles USA.
Gaurav Sidhu further said “She had won Gold medal and Silver Medal in Commonwealth Games besides other Medals in Asian Games and represented the country in the World Shooting Championship and 2008 Olympics Games held at Beijing”. It is an insult to the sports personality whose services are often utilised by the state government to promote its achievements, he said.
It may be recalled that Punjab government sports department has forwarded 11 names of the sportspersons to DSO’s vide their letter no sports/DA 4-19/ 10994 dated 15/07/2019 and asked the DSO’s to send citations of the 11 sportspersons excluding the name of Olympian Avneet Kaur Sidhu.
Commenting on this development Amrit Pal Singh father of Avneet Kaur Sidhu said “She has been deliberately excluded and victimised because she was appointed as Deputy Superintendent of Police by Parkash Singh Badal government”. We will not beg for any award, Pain shapes a woman into a warrior and she is a warrior.

Will Sukhbir Singh Badal Resign from Lok Sabha Seat?
Does BJP have a big agenda in mind for Punjab?
By Amrit Pal Brar
Bathinda, 21 July 2019: Will Sukhbir Singh Badal President of SAD resign from the Ferozepur Lok Sabha seat ? This question is being hotly debated in the high political circles and political observers.
According to grapevine Sukhbir Singh Badal may resign from his Ferozepur Lok Sabha seat and contest from Jalalabad assembly constituency by -election, which got vacant due to his win to Lok Sabha in the recently concluded general elections of parliament.
The by-election is expected to be announced along with Haryana assembly elections within next few months.
Sukhbir Singh Badal has been member from Jalalabad constituency from 2009. He has won this seat twice and remained Deputy Chief Minister till 2017.
Political observers feel that the idea behind this move is to remain in the state politics and handle the party affairs as being a member of parliament; it is difficult to spare more time for party affairs which needs lot of efforts for its revival in the state.
The SAD had won only two seats out of ten it contested; whereas BJP won two out of three they contested. After the grand victory in parliamentary elections and big come back of Narindra Modi government at the centre the BJP has gained popularity in the state. Feeling stimulated by this development the state leadership of BJP is spreading its wings, it had launched a membership drive in the state and large numbers of people, even bureaucrats are joining the BJP.
Vacuum in the SAD leadership at this juncture will prove detrimental to SAD, which is already facing isolation among the Sikh masses due to sacrilege issue. There are reports that state BJP leaders are also in touch with the unhappy and annoyed leaders of SAD. As per observers, the BJP has brought Punjab on its priority agenda by appointing two ministers in the central government, Som Prakash and Hardeep Singh Puri. It is a clear indication that BJP had a big agenda in mind for Punjab.
According to grapevine, such developments are the reason of worries of SAD leadership. The outcome of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha elections will certainly have wider ramifications on the politics of Punjab.
Only Sukhbir Singh Badal can answer to this question.
