PUNJAB GOVT’S DECISION UNFAIR

-

The Punjab government’s action against education consultant­s, travel advisers and English coaching centres across the state is shocking. The aim was to tighten grip over the so-called agents who dupe people. But the people who have been targeted are young and educated citizens venturing into overseas education and immigratio­n industry. This action has rendered thousands of youths unemployed and has jeopardise­d careers of many who wanted to study overseas. This raises a many questions – Does the government have a concrete plan for employing its youth? Will it be able to provide quality education to thousands of youth? Is maintainin­g law and order only confined to consultant­s and police is virtually ignorant about chain-snatching, robbery and thefts

Harinder Singh, Jalandhar Karnataka, given the similar promises in past. If the Congress is relying on agrarian crisis as an election agenda, then it is clearly not working.

BN Anand, Mohali has been ghettoised in India and polarisati­on is frightenin­g”. Is it just a coincidenc­e that the intelligen­tsia lobby gets active in dividing and denigratin­g India, especially when elections are on the cards? Had it not been the case, she would have talked about those 9 million Muslim women who benefitted after ‘Triple Talaq’ was struck down or how India as an economy moved from fragile five to fabulous few. India still stands tall in exercising tolerance, harmony and above all, secularism. The forecast that it will become the country with highest number of Muslims in the world by 2045 boldly underpins the aforementi­oned claim.

Upant Sharma, Panchkula of sheen. This new scandal has even shifted the spotlight from ₹13000 Crore Pnb-nirav Modi scandal.
