Punjab faces deep unease from recent events like an attack, parole bids, and renewed focus on militancy's past.

Political parties are criticized for exploiting these sensitive topics for electoral gain. The author stresses that longstanding issues—river waters, Chandigarh, Sikh prisoners—demand constitutional and legal resolution, not mere rediscovery during elections. Unleashed emotions become uncontrollable.
