“ਕਾਲੇ ਧਨ ਅਤੇ ਕਿਰਤ ਵਿਚਕਾਰ ਹੋਈ ਜੱਦੋ ਜਹਿਦ ਵਿਚ ਕਿਰਤ ਹਾਰ ਗਈ ਹੈ” ( ਪੰਨਾ 30 “ਜੀਵੇ ਜਵਾਨੀ ” :ਲੇਖਕ :ਗੁਰਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਤੂਰ).
And that has been the real tragedy for Punjab. The defeat of hard work at the hands of corruption and black money is the basic reason for drug addiction in Punjab. An important contributing factor has been political sort-sightedness , total lack of vision and abdication of responsibility at all levels of government machinery. Add to this the “what to me?” attitude of the general public and slumbering intellectuals ….The picture of Punjab’s misfortune is complete!It will take Herculean efforts the reverse the clock! Any body listening!
