1 March Hoshiarpur- After becoming the President of BSP Punjab, Dr. Avtar Singh Karimpuri started the struggle for public interest and fought on many issues like unemployment, inflation, daily deaths due to drug addiction, illegal mining, atrocities on Dalits in Punjab, Post Matric Scholarship Scheme, S Commission issue, economic plight of Punjab etc., due to this the government has woken up after three years. The government which had announced to make Punjab drug free within three months of formation of the government, has remembered to make Punjab drug free by launching a campaign against drug dealers after three years. Expressing the above views, Bahujan Samaj Party Punjab President and former Rajya Sabha member Dr. Avtar Singh Karimpuri, while addressing huge public meetings in Jalandhar, Banga, Phillaur, Nakodar, Balachaur, Chandigarh State UT, said that after seeing a sinking ship like Delhi, the Punjab government has started seeing a threat to Punjab's reputation due to drug abuse, but the government will have to answer to the people of Punjab in 2027 for the countless deaths of Punjab officials due to drug abuse in the last three years. He said that by mobilizing the people of Punjab, BSP will hold a big rally in Phagwara on March 15 to save the mothers and sons of Punjab from drug abuse and to make Punjab economically, healthily and educationally strong.
He said that the doors of employment abroad are being closed for Punjab, Punjabis who went abroad for employment after spending Rs 50 lakh, selling their lands and houses and starving for six months are being brought back like criminals with shackles on their feet, for which the Central and Punjab governments are responsible. He said that AAP, Congress, BJP and Akali Dal, all these feudal, communal casteist ideology parties are going against the ideology of Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar by making policies against Dalits and backward classes.
The proof of which is that there is no place for Dalits and backward classes in the posts of Mayor, Mandi Board and District Council Chairman of government appointed corporations. Karimpuri said that AAP has committed political murder of Dalits and backward classes by ending reservation, no representation has been given to Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes on seven Rajya Sabha seats. He said that the post of Chairman of SC Commission is still vacant due to which large scale religious and social atrocities are being committed on Scheduled Castes in Punjab and no hearing is being done. He said that apart from this, Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes are also being ignored on key administrative posts. Karimpuri said that on the occasion of BSP founder Sahib Kanshi Ram's birth anniversary, a huge gathering will be organized at Dana Mandi Phagwara to intensify the movement launched by BSP against inflation, unemployment, drug abuse, social discrimination being done by the government with the scheduled castes and backward classes in Punjab. He called upon all Punjabis to unite to change the corrupt system, make Punjab's economy more efficient, create employment opportunities for laborers and youth, bring education and health institutions in the right direction, eliminate corruption and drug abuse from Punjab, forgetting all their differences and bring Bahujan Samaj Party as the third option in Punjab.
