This interview with Surjit Singh Phul was published on 28 December 2022. In this interview, he was discussed about the sit-in outside the Zeera Liquor Factory. He said that due to this factory, the environment and water are getting polluted and people are suffering from life-threatening diseases. He said that earlier the government had stated that it would take action against the owner of the liquor factory who is at fault, but it has not happened till date. He said that the government has formed committees for action, but after forming the committees, there is no scope for justice. He said that the government reneged on what it said and cases were filed against 15 leaders, 25 unidentified cases and some leaders were also arrested. He said that the government had claimed that justice would be given but by doing so the action of the government was done in favor of Malhotra (factory owner). Surjit Singh Phool said that we had already asked the government to inform the High Court about the damage to the environment and people caused by the factory and the illegal mining by Malhotra. So that the factory is closed. Apart from this, he explained in detail how much damage is being done to the environment or people due to this factory. But the government did not even file an FIR against Malhotra. Apart from this, Surjit Singh Phool also talked about the murder of Sidhu Moosewala. Finally, he said that a lot of time has passed, now people want justice from the government.
