Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
CHANDIGARH, Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president, Capt Amarinder Singh today lashed out at the doublespeak of the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his alliance partner BJP on the SYL issue by saying something in Punjab and doing something else at the centre.
Capt Amarinder also announced that he will start a march along the SYL route from the tail-end Gunjal village in Abohar assembly segment, to expose the doublespeak of the Badals and BJP which was going against the interests of Punjab. “This is a classic case of running with the hare and hunting with the hound by the Badal and the BJP”, he remarked.
“While the NDA government at the centre, of which the BJP and Akali Dal are part and parcel and Badal’s daughter-in law Harsimrat Kaur Badal is a cabinet minister there, has taken a stand in the Supreme Court that is clearly against the interest of Punjab, Mr Badal and the BJP here (in Punjab) claim that they will not let a drop of water out”, he pointed out while exposing their doublespeak.
The PCC president advised the Chief Minister and his BJP partners to better go to Delhi and meet the Prime Minister and tell him that Punjab cannot afford even a drop of water for others. “After all they are part of the government there and they must use their influence and not resort to fake breast beating in Punjab”, he remarked.
At the same time Capt Amarinder assured his party’s full support and cooperation to Mr Badal for saving and safeguarding the Punjab’s waters. He warned, not only will whole of Malwa turn dry and barren, it may also lead to serious law and order situation in the state as it involves sentiments of Punjabis.
