Anil Vij said that \u201cPunjab should honour the Supreme Court\u2019s decision by constructing the canal and ensuring water supply so that people\u2019s thirst is quenched and the dried-up fields can also get irrigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sh. Vij was responding to a question asked by the media persons today regarding the ongoing issue and meetings between Punjab and Haryana over the SYL (Sutlej-Yamuna Link) canal.<\/p>\n<p>He said that \u201cEarlier, Haryana and Punjab were one state, and everything was shared between us. But after Haryana became a separate state, our rights also became clear. We have equal rights over the water. The Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court has already ruled in favour of Haryana, yet Punjab keeps taking such steps that damage relations and deny Haryana its fair share of water.\u201d Meanwhile, he said that\u201cwater is flowing into Pakistan \u2014 something Punjab seems to accept \u2014 but the Punjab government is not making any effort to stop this wastage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further said that \u201cThe Central Government has spoken about revoking the Indus Waters Treaty, because the agreement made by the then government was wrong \u2014 giving away 80% of water to Pakistan and ignoring our own dry fields. Then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru himself went to Pakistan to sign that treaty. But the Sindhu River is ours, and it\u2019s from drinking the water of Sindhu that we became Hindus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that \u201cThe Centre is working to block that water, but Punjab is doing nothing to stop the flow of water into Pakistan,\u201d he said. \u201cEven the land acquired for the canal has been denotified by Punjab, and the agreement was cancelled by calling a session of their Vidhan Sabha, he said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sh. Vij questioned that\u201cPunjab\u2019s culture is to install water stalls (chhabeels), to serve water to the thirsty \u2014 how can Punjab forget that very culture?\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0a2e\u0a3e\u0a2b\u0a3c \u0a15\u0a30\u0a28\u0a3e, \u0a07\u0a39 \u0a16\u0a2c\u0a30 \u0a24\u0a41\u0a39\u0a3e\u0a21\u0a40 \u0a2c\u0a47\u0a28\u0a24\u0a40 \u0a2d\u0a3e\u0a38\u0a3c\u0a3e \u0a35\u0a3f\u0a71\u0a1a \u0a09\u0a2a\u0a32\u0a2c\u0a27 \u0a28\u0a39\u0a40\u0a02 \u0a39\u0a48\u0964 \u0a15\u0a3f\u0a30\u0a2a\u0a3e \u0a15\u0a30\u0a15\u0a47 \u0a07\u0a71\u0a25\u0a47 \u0a26\u0a47\u0a16\u0a4b\u0964 \u201cWhen Haryana gets its share of water, it will quench people\u2019s thirst and irrigate parched farmlands too\u201d \u2013 Anil Vij \u201cTo spoil relations between Haryana and Punjab, Punjab repeatedly takes such steps so that Haryana doesn\u2019t receive its rightful share [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":213688,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181,182,122,4],"tags":[28901,863,111882,141,34414,7454,3610,117025],"class_list":{"0":"post-213686","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chandigarh","8":"category-haryana","9":"category-news","10":"category-politics","11":"tag-canal","12":"tag-haryana","13":"tag-haryanas-energy","14":"tag-punjab","15":"tag-sh-anil-vij","16":"tag-sutlej-yamuna-link","17":"tag-syl","18":"tag-transport-and-labour-minister"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
