Examine the main provisions of the rajiv gandhi-longowal accord of 1985. How far was the accord successful in bringing back normalcy in punjab ? Explain.
Answers
Punjab accord, also known as the Rajiv-Longowal Accord, is an accord signed by Rajiv Gandhi and Harchand Singh Longowal on 24 July 1985. As Governor of Punjab, Arjun Singh worked for the Rajiv-Longowal Accord for peace in Punjab (till the time he was the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, and dacoits in Chambal surrendered them under his influence) The government accepted the demands of Akali Dal who in turn agreed to withdraw their agitation.
The accord attracted opposition from several orthodox Sikh leaders of Punjab as well as from the politicians of Haryana. Some of its promises could not be fulfilled due to the disagreements. Harchand Singh Longowal was assassinated by the Sikh militants opposed to the accord.
