Tarn Taran, July 22
Newly appointed PCC president Navjot Singh Sidhu on Thursday had to change his route in the wake of the farmers’ protest to reach Mehmoodpur village. As a result, Congress workers, who had lined up on roads for hours to welcome him here, had to return disappointed.
Sidhu had to attend a function organised by Khemkaran MLA Sukhpal Singh Bhullar at his native Mehmoodpur village. As per the programme, he was to reach Mehmoodpur via Tarn Taran, Chabal, Sursingh, Bhikhwind, Algon Kothi, Amarkot, etc. However, his cavalcade took a detour through Patti, Valtoha and Amarkot to reach the village to avoid the farmers’ protest in the area. He reached there by about three hours late.

History is replete with stories of their heroism because valour runs in the Punjabi blood. But, unfortunately, so does patriarchy. And, there is absolutely no dearth of ghastly tales of honour killing, of female foeticide, of subjugation of the fairer sex and worse. These, however, are dark alleys and just not the place to be when the frost in the air gives way and spring is knocking, when the fields are yellow with mustard flowers, when the wheat crop stretches endlessly like a carpet of green and farmers await its shiny golden hues.
