New Delhi: In dehydration in Haryana, Punjab Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal said on Sunday that the state would not even allow a drop of water to be released to neighboring countries and attacked the BJP-led coalition and the Haryana government attempted to “plunder” it. Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala has sparked a counter-trend tone, questioning the silence of the center on the issue and demanding that the Modi government direct the Baghvant Mann government in Punjab not to create any obstacles to the distribution of water in Haryana.
Mr Daliwal's statement comes the second day after the party-wide meeting in Haryana demanded that the Punjab government release water unconditionally. Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, who had attacked in the AAP government, said that not following the instructions of the Bhakra Beas Management Committee to release water was “unconstitutional and inhumane” and also launched an attack on the federal structure of the constitution.
Dhaliwal said on Sunday that Mr Mann was fighting for moisture from the state. Mr Dhaliiwal said: “Just like the head of a family who saved every Rs. to run the family in the same way, the Punjab CM is saving every drop of water for his farmers and Punjab, and the BJP government is illegally plundering it…I don’t even surrender.”
Mr Sujiwara, the leader of the Congress from Haryana, mentioned that Punjab police officers were allegedly deployed in the Bakra-Nange Dam, claiming that it had blocked the release of water to Haryana. He demanded that the center should get rid of “illegal professions.”
“What is the reason why the Narendra Modi government did not issue a written order to the Mann government (in some cases dealing with the Union's control over the state) under article 257 of the Constitution? Why does it not give instructions not to stop the water in Haryana?” asked Mr Surjewala.
Congress Rajya Sabha MP demanded that the Modi government should hand over the security of the Bhakra-Nangal dam project to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
The deadlock between Punjab and Haryana intensified the meeting of the Punjab government on Saturday, with both the Bakra Bis Management Committee (BBMB) and the whole party meeting in Haryana demanding that the Punjab government release water unconditionally.
The issue of moisture between Punjab and Haryana As the AAP government refuses to allow more water to enter its neighbors, as well as the BJP government’s statement, it is about to protect Haryana’s “why it should have”.
