“narco terrorism” is a paradigm I will be considering from now on as an item in my check list against any incident/event that happens in Punjab. There is a possibility that a variation of Colombia’s Pablo Escobar story (South American narco terrorism in general) is running in Punjab at the moment. everything else is noise facilitating narco terrorism.
blast in a court made me think in this direction, and today MSM news channels are calling this related to “narco terrorism” anyways.
Drug trade is a very discreet enterprise and avoids unnecessary noises. Every political player gets his cut. The drug related voilence occurs when state starts taking action which in Punjab’s case is totally absent.
Theory vs Practice:
The instability in Punjab after the end of terrorism has been carefully scripted by Khalistan enterprise operating from overseas and Pakistan. The very first insiders talk were based on a premise that Sikhs being pious and more connected will not fall for drugs.
The deeper question here is who is the puppet and who are the puppeteers here.
Drugs are facilitaors not the core game here. Once the end game is achived the drug use and their paddlers will be crushed brutally. There were similar kind of dictates and enforcements during militancy where people especially labourers used to get harassed for consuming tobacco etc.
Narco terrorism is probably a more fancy term for Punjab where radicalisation is the key ingredient of this concoction of separatism.
While we highlight Narco terrorism our focus must always stay attached to religiously charged disruptions, hate and othering of Hindus they are planning along their love for Muslims and Pakistanis. Same template Muslims used in Kashmir against KP’s.
Khalistan enterprise is very actively planing and plotting. Hindus will be on receiving end. The union of India will always take us for guaranteed and as a collateral damage or take our survial as diminishing return. The union will allow Sikh win narratives and allow them have this perception of religious veto they can use on every sundry issue. The latest example Modi taking farmer’s law back.
