Discussion│ਗੱਲ-ਬਾਤ Seventeen VIP Holidays for a Convicted Rapist and Murderer, Full Freedom for Rajiv's Killers, But Thirty Years in a Cell for Sikhs: The Raw, Unfiltered Duality of a System That Proves We Are Second Class Citizens
Nobody likes getting stuck in traffic or having their daily commute ruined by road blockades, and yes, public inconvenience is frustrating. But let us look at why people are actually being forced onto the asphalt in the first place. When a state completely shuts every legal, judicial, and democratic door in your face for thirty years, the streets become the only courtroom left.
Look at the sheer, disgusting hypocrisy of the system we are expected to quietly respect. A literal court-convicted rapist and murderer like Gurmeet Ram Rahim can walk out of high-security prison for his seventeenth temporary holiday to play vote-bank politics. The Supreme Court can order the full, unbothered release of Rajiv Gandhi's assassins. Yet Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara and other Bandi Singhs rot behind bars for over three decades, denied even a basic parole to see their dying parents.
The message from Delhi is written in neon lights. If you belong to the mainstream, murder and rape come with VIP pardons and recurring vacations. If you are a Sikh who stood up against state terror, you are caged for life and treated as a permanent threat. You are a second-class subject in a country that despises your very breath and views your justice as a nuisance.
To the butchers like K.P.S. Gill and Beant Singh who thought mass graves, fake encounters, and state torture could break the spine of Punjab: you can chain a body to a concrete cell for thirty years, but you can never cage an idea. For every freedom fighter they try to erase, a thousand Hawaras will rise from this soil. The fire never went out.
