Donald Trump has been formally declared the winner of a second term as President in a joint session of Congress. The session was presided over by Vice President Kamala Harris. During the proceedings that lasted about 30 minutes, no member of Congress raised any objection and the session ended in a very peaceful atmosphere. On this occasion, the election results were read and it was announced that Trump had obtained the 270 electoral votes required to become the next president. As soon as Trump’s victory was announced, the members present in the joint session applauded very politely. Talking to reporters after the session, Kamala Harris said that today I have fulfilled my duty, which I have been fulfilling throughout my entire public life. She said that I have fulfilled my constitutional duty to uphold the decision given by the American people and the voters. House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a post on social media that this has been a great political comeback in American history and we are now ready to move forward.

Bhai Arvinder Singh Raja, Chief Sevadar of Akhand Kirtani Jatha (Delhi), has strongly condemned the brutal suppression of the peaceful march taken out by the National Justice Front by the Punjab Government and the Punjab Police yesterday. He said that the Punjab Police also attacked the march in Mohali and fired tear gas shells where the holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji was present, which shows gross disrespect for the religious sentiments of the Sikhs. The government has directly attacked the Sikhs by desecrating the Sikh turbans during the lathi charge on the protesting Sikhs and this action exposes the anti-Sikh and authoritarian nature of the government. The actions taken by the Bhagwant Mann government to suppress the peaceful protests are undemocratic and a gross violation of fundamental rights. In a democracy, every individual and community has the right to protest and raise their voice for their rights without fear of coercion or violence. The government’s attempt to stop the Sikhs from marching by imposing restrictions at various places, resorting to lathicharge, tear gas and brutality against the protesters, shows the authoritarian nature of this government and is a blatant violation of democratic principles that cannot be condemned enough.
