'No compromise on Punjab's water' Says Sukhbir Badal
Published on

Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Badal on Wednesday warned Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh against "compromising on the state's consistent and principled stand on the riparian principle with regard to the unsustainable demand for distribution of river waters". The Akali leader said the SYL canal issue stood closed forever after the Parkash Singh Badal-led government had returned the acquired land to its original owner farmers. The SAD President said the Chief Minister should have categorically told Union Water Resources Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat that massive injustice had been done to Punjab by successive Congress governments, especially by Indira Gandhi, in looting Punjab's waters and giving these unjustly to Rajasthan and Haryana.
