Can Bibi Khalra & PDA Break SAD-Congress Stranglehold Over Punjab?

from News and Views · host The Quint

The constituency that symbolises this battle against the Akalis, Congress and BJP is Khadoor Sahib. Interestingly, Khadoor Sahib is the only Lok Sabha seat that covers all the three regions in Punjab: six of its assembly segments are in the Majha region, two in Doaba and one in Malwa. Challenging the Congress and the Akalis here is Bibi Paramjit Kaur Khalra of the Punjabi Ekta Party. Khalra has extensively worked with families whose members were killed or forcibly abducted by the police during the 1980s and 1990s. Her husband Jaswant Singh Khalra was a prominent human rights activist, whose efforts exposed several cases of encounters, abductions and human rights abuses that were carried out by the police in the name of fighting the Khalistan insurgency.
