Punjab owes a lot
to Sunil Dutt
Ludhiana, May 25 He undertook the ‘Padyatra’ of Punjab against the advice of the security and intelligence agencies as they told him that it was not safe to travel to Punjab on foot. But he was determined to undertake the yatra and finally paid his obeisance at Harmander Sahib. It was the month of June 1987 when Mr Sunil Dutt accompanied by his daughter Priyanka came to Punjab and passed through the major cities. He was given a rousing welcome by the Punjabis. This reporter met Sunil Dutt and his daughter between Doraha and Khanna and talked to him about the Punjab situation. Mr Sunil Dutt and his daughter paid their obeisance at historic gurdwara located at Kotan village on Ludhiana-Delhi highway near Doraha. During his interaction with this reporter, Mr Sunil Dutt expressed his anguish at the Punjab situation. He said he was upset over the situation because he had seen the blood shed during the partition of the country. So he never wanted any such thing to happen to Punjab. On reaching Ludhiana, he and his daughter were given a big welcome at the Jagraon bridge and they stayed at Ludhiana for the night. During his visit to Amritsar after paying his obeisance at Harmander Sahib, Mr Sunil Dutt met the then Akal
Takht Jathedar Prof Darshan Singh and discussed the Punjab situation with him. He offered his good offices to the Akal
Takht Jathedar to bring about peace in Punjab and also told him that he was ready to make any sacrifice for the same. Later Prof Darshan Singh had confirmed to this reporter that Mr Sunil Dutt was very sincere in his mission and was keen on finding a solution which should usher in peace in the state. Prof Darshan Singh said that he had suggested to Mr Sunil Dutt that the Central government should open a dialogue with the Sikh youth and all the youth behind bars should be released. Even during an interview with this reporter when it was pointed out to him that it was not safe to travel in Punjab and undertake ‘padyatra’, he had affirmed that there was strong need for bridging the divide between the two communities and peace must prevail in Punjab at any cost. During those days another person who had shown some interest in finding a solution to the Punjab problem was Jain Acharya Sushil Muni who also met Prof Darshan Singh at the Akal Takht. Prof Darshan Singh had told Sushil Muni that the Sikh youth would not surrender before the government and they would surrender their arms at the Akal Takht as they (Sikh youth) ‘are the property of the Sikh quam.’ Mr Sunil Dutt later visited Ludhiana when Beant Singh Government had been formed and participated in an Urdu Mushaira organised by Krishan Adeeb International in memory of Sahir Ludhianvi. Punjab owes lot of debt to Sunil Dutt for his devotion to the cause of Punjab.
