Latest News about Paramjit Kaur Khalra
Paramjit Kaur Khalra urged the Akal Takht to form a People's Commission to determine the number of people who went missing in Punjab during the 1980s and 1990s, along with the number of unidentified dead. The appeal was tied to the ongoing debate around the Satluj/Jaswant Singh Khalra case and the broader issue of missing persons in the region. Her remarks continued her long-standing campaign for truth and accountability on human rights violations.
Paramjit Kaur Khalra publicly endorsed the OTT release of Satluj, formerly known as Punjab 95, saying the version released online preserved the original spirit and truth of her husband Jaswant Singh Khalra's story. She said the family had approved this version after years of censorship-related delays. The statement highlighted the continued relevance of Khalra's investigation into enforced disappearances and illegal cremations in Punjab.
