The Dera has massive following in Punjab & even as it has remained largely apolitical for decades, the optics of 'Babaji' visiting the Akali leader in jail sends a strong political signal.
In February 2022, he surrendered in drugs case & was granted bail 6 months later. He was then booked in DA case & was arrested 25 June 2025. He has been denied bail in DA case.
Blue Corner Notice was issued against Canada-based NRI at request of SIT probing drugs case against SAD leader & former Punjab minister Bikram Majithia.
While Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said that there is “irrefutable evidence” against Majithia, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader has denied all charges.
Member of Bikram Singh Majithia’s legal team says Akali Dal leader ‘resigned as director of firm Saraya Industries, and his role was limited to that of a shareholder’.
Punjab Vigilance Bureau arrested Majithia at his residence in Amritsar. Raids carried out at around 25 premises linked to Majithia across the state, including around 9 in Amritsar.
Majithia's press conference included photos & videos as 'proof' of Punjab CM's wrongdoing, but Channi & Congress hit back by pointing at allegations against SAD leader himself.
Being founded on class war, any State founded on Marxism is bound to set itself in opposition, bitter and all-out, against all other nations, libertarian commentator MA Venkata Rao wrote in 1963.
The 77th Republic Day Parade at Kartavya Path will showcase India’s operational synergy and self-reliance, highlighting combat readiness, indigenous weaponry and joint military operations.
Pakistan not only has zero chance of catching up with India in most areas, but will inevitably see the gap rising. Its leaders will offer its people the same snake oil in different bottles.
