Bajwa slams Kang for deleting land pooling tweet
Chandigarh: Leader of opposition in the Punjab assembly, Partap Singh Bajwa, on Monday lashed out at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Malvinder Singh Kang for deleting a social media post in which Kang had urged his party leadership to "earn the trust" of farmers regarding the controversial land pooling policy. Hours after publicly expressing reservations about the policy on X (formerly Twitter), Kang deleted the post without explanation. Bajwa accused the AAP MP of succumbing to pressure from the party high command in Delhi and alleged that the leadership is "hell-bent on pushing through a policy that is against the interests of Punjab's farmers". "Kang should have shown spine by speaking up for the people of Punjab, not for those sitting in Delhi. The AAP's real intent is to loot the state's resources," Bajwa alleged. He reiterated his strong opposition to the land pooling scheme, calling it a "blatant act of loot" targeting farmers and landowners. Bajwa demanded that the policy be withdrawn immediately, warning that if the Congress returns to power in Punjab, its first Cabinet decision will be to repeal the policy. Taking a jibe at chief minister Bhagwant Mann, Bajwa said, "If your govt truly believes in the benefits of the land pooling policy, why didn't you launch it from your own ancestral village, Satauj, and from your own farmland? Why didn't finance minister Harpal Cheema start it from his village, or MP Aman Arora from Sunam?" He added, "You can't do this because you know the truth—this policy is disastrous for Punjabis and for farmers. " MSID:: 122953214 413 |

Bajwa meets Australia MPs, urges for consulate in Chandigarh
Chandigarh: Senior Congress leader and leader of opposition in the Punjab assembly, Partap Singh Bajwa, held a series of meetings with prominent Australian members of Parliament at the Parliament in Canberra during his visit to Australia. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Among those he met were Julian Hill MP, Australia's assistant minister for citizenship, customs and multicultural affairs, and assistant minister for international education, as well as MP Jason Wood and MP Mary Doyle. During the discussions, Bajwa advocated for the establishment of an Australian consulate in Chandigarh, stating that such a move would significantly benefit the thousands of Punjabis who travel to Australia each year for education, employment, and family reunification. He emphasised that a consulate would not only ease consular access for Punjabis but also deepen diplomatic and people-to-people ties between Punjab and Australia. The meetings focused on enhancing bilateral cooperation in key sectors, including agro-processing. Bajwa highlighted potential opportunities for collaboration in dairy farming, water management, and sustainable agriculture, and urged Australian investors to explore Punjab's agro-processing sector. On the education front, Bajwa raised concerns over the challenges faced by Punjabi students in Australia, such as delays in visa processing, limited awareness of legal pathways, and exploitation by unregulated migration agents. He proposed the formation of a bilateral education task force to address these issues and promote closer cooperation between educational institutions in both countries. Bajwa also underscored the importance of cultural diplomacy, suggesting the launch of an annual Punjabi Cultural Festival in Australia to celebrate shared heritage and further strengthen bonds between Punjabi and Australian communities. He praised the contributions of Punjabi-Australians in sports, business, and media, calling them a vital bridge between the two societies. MSID:: 122952841 413 |

Arjan Bajwa, recognized for his diverse roles across film and web series, addresses the industry's typecasting challenge. Arjan Bajwa , known for films like Fashion , Crook , Son of Sardar , Bobby Jasoos , Rustom , and Kabir Singh , as well as web series Bestseller and State of Siege: 26/11 , continues to approach his career with a clear mindset. With upcoming OTT projects including The Wives , Demon Hunters , and Second Chance , Bajwa reflects on the importance of relevance and the challenge of typecasting in the industry. 'Typecasting is one of the most painful things that exists in our industry,' he says. 'While there are filmmakers who see you as a talent and try to mould you into different characters, most others just look at your last film and offer similar kinds of roles.' On the subject of staying relevant, Bajwa emphasises that it is a personal choice. 'Some stay relevant just to be seen, to be around, and to remind people that they are still part of the business. Others strive to remain relevant through their work by evolving as actors and through the kind of films they choose to do,' he explains. 'One cannot pinpoint a single way to stay relevant. But yes, being visible to the audience and filmmakers is important so they think of you when casting. ' He also acknowledges the role of social media in the current scenario. 'Nowadays, social media has made it easier to stay relevant, but it's definitely not a measure of talent.'
