Episode no 93 This interview with senior journalist Baljit Parmar was published on 19 October 2022. At the beginning of the interview, he said that 20 years ago in Punjab, gangsters were formed due to personal enmity, which was such a culture. But then being a border area, people were given arms licenses by the government for self-defense and those arms were only for self-defense, with certain limitations. He said that the weapons possessed by the gangster are unlicensed and obtained illegally. As much as it is used for illegal activities. Journalist Baljit Parmar said that no matter how strict the government tries, it still cannot stop arms and drug trafficking because it has been going on for centuries. He said that the critical issue is where and by whom the bullets are provided to the criminals once the illegal arms are smuggled into their possession. He said that it is a tragedy of Punjab that laws are not implemented here. He said that to cover up its failure by the administration, the state and agencies are claimed to be behind the gangsters. He said that DG, Chief Secretary and DC are puppets for the ministers. He said that there are 40 such families in Punjab whose nexus is very big and their members are engaged in every department. He also talked openly about the Badals. Talking about the murder case of Sidhu Moosewala, he said that the case is not going in any right direction and there will be some changes in the coming days. He said that it is laughable to read such a charge sheet of the police administration and justice cannot be expected. Finally, questioning the performance of the BSF and the Government of India, he said that neither Lawrence Bishnoi will be fully prosecuted nor justice will be given.
