CHANDIGARH: Utter paranoia and fear psychosis plagues the Indian police and administrative system, in case anyone wants to debate and discuss the gains and losses over the last 60 years of free India. A new body in the name of Panthic Darbar Manch experienced that this week when they attempted to hold a meet at a local Gurdwara to discuss, "India's freedom and the future of Minorities". The leader of the body, writer activist Baljit Singh Khalsa was first whisked away to a police station under prevention detention laws by the Chandigarh police and then sent to prison. The Sangat coming to the Gurdwara was also threatened with arrest forcing them to stay away.

Panthic leaders Satnam Singh Paonta Sahib, Rajinder Singh of Shiromani Khalsa Panchayat, Harpal Singh Cheema of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), Kanwar Singh Dhami and Sandeep Singh Canadian have criticized the move of the Chandigarh administration and have said that "fear psychosis had gripped the police and they felt that it was a function to deplore the Punjabi Vigilance Bureau chief, Sumedh Singh Saini."
