#BREAKING "Don't waste our time," CJI Surya Kant on plea against police action on student protesters during #CJP march.
"We are not interested in videos, we don't have time to watch," CJI tells lawyer who said there are videos showing police atrocities.
This is a shitty take but let’s take it at face value.
What’s wrong if it is about the votes? In any civilized country, what’s wrong with saying “do not vote for those who oversee or whitewash a genocide”?
The Sikhs of Punjab have been carrying the pain for decades. Satluj merely shares a story which has been buried for decades. Why are everyone’s pants on fire suddenly? Because the truth is bitter and it makes us confront dark chapters of our own past?
As far as the allegation of “rekindling anger” goes, what exactly does it mean? That people’s wounds will automatically heal by burying the past?
Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra was murdered by the system. Why? Because he exposed the murders of thousands of innocents by that same system.
Where exactly is the “debate” then? There can be NO JUSTIFICATION for what happened in Punjab.
There’s only two kinds of people who justify atrocities by the system:
1. Those who have lived in a bubble & have perpetually benefited from the system (no matter who is in power)
2. Those who played an active role in whitewashing atrocities in the past & now feel uncomfortable when they’re exposed
There’s no third type. So makes you wonder…
Regarding the shameful ban on the film "Satluj"/"Punjab 95" in India
I thankfully got a chance to watch the extremely powerful film "Satluj" on Zee5 over the weekend before the Modi Govt abruptly pulled it down.
The film tells the story of human rights crusader Jaswant Singh Khalra who exposed the butchering of innocents that happened in Punjab in the mid-90s. It is a reckoning of a horrible chapter of our history which we have ignored for decades.
The film exposes a diabolical era where our institutions failed miserably. The fact that the film has been banned just goes on to show how much our "democracy" has further eroded under the Modi Govt.
I have written to Sh Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon'ble Minister for Information Broadcasting and IT expressing my strongest protest against the banning of this important film.
I understand this is a futile exercise but history will not forgive us if we choose to remain silent.
We owe it to the memory of Jaswant Singh Khalra and the thousands of victims of Punjab whose story is being shamefully buried. It is time that our nation starts having the uncomfortable conversations that are required to acknowledge and confront the dark episodes of our past.

With Punjab, Forever.
We were on the ground. We saw the loss, the heartbreak — and the strength that refused to fade. Villages under water, lives uprooted, but hope still standing.
Whatever Punjab needs, we are here.
To help. To rebuild. To heal — together
