SYL ISSUE CLOSED FOREVER WHEN BADAL GOVT RETURNED LAND TO ORIGINAL OWNERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

NOT A SINGLE DROP OF WATER TO SPARE: SAD PRESIDENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chandigarh August 19 \u2013<\/strong> SAD president and former Deputy Chief Minister (Sardar) Sukhbir Singh Badal today warned the Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh against \u201ccompromising on Punjab\u2019s consistent and principled stand on the Riparian Principle with regard to the unsustainable demand for distribution of Punjab\u2019s river waters.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Akali leader said that the SYL issue stood closed forever after S Parkash Singh badal led government had returned the acquired land to its original owner farmers.<\/p>\n

The SAD President also said that Amaridner should have categorically told the Union Water Resources Minister Mr Gajendra Singh Shekhawat that massive injustice had been done to Punjab by successive Congress governments especially by Indira Gandhi in looting Punjab\u2019s waters and giving these unjustly to Rajasthan and Haryana. \u201cCongress Chief Minister Darbara Singh had signed on Punjab\u2019s death warrants. When told by Indira Gandhi to choose between his chair as CM and Punjab\u2019s rights on river waters, Darbara Singh chose his chair. Punjabis are now paying with their lives the price for the greed of the Congress leaders like Darbara Singh.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Akali leader said that building a canal without determining the quantum of water, if any, to flow through it is a \u2018patently absurd idea\u2019 . \u201cNever in human history has a canal ever been built without first ascertaining the availability of the water. That is literally putting the cart before the horse and the people of Punjab are totally at a loss to understand why such an absolutely irrational and unprecedented demand was being made at all.\u201c<\/p>\n

Mr Badal reiterated that Punjabis and SAD will never accept the construction of the SYL nor allow it to be built.<\/p>\n

Mr Badal said that Amarinder\u2019s arguments in yesterday\u2019s meeting with the Haryana CM have surprised the Punjabis as these constitute a departure from the our known and consistent position on Riparian Principle.<\/p>\n

The former Deputy CM said that Punjab\u2019s claim on river waters \u201cis based on the nationally and internationally accepted Riparian Principle. The issue of Yamuna waters is only an argument against Haryana\u2019s stand . We just want that we must not be robbed of our own river waters and we don\u2019t demand Yamuna waters because we stick to the Riparian principle \u201c What the Punjab CM should have told the Haryana counterpart is that just as Punjab doesn\u2019t demand any share in non-Punjab rivers, so too should Haryana and Rajasthan not be stubborn in making unreasonable demands on Punjab\u2019s river waters,\u201d said Mr Badal in a statement here this afternoon.<\/p>\n

He asked the Punjab CM to immediately correct the dangerous distortion he has introduced in Punjab\u2019s strong case with his poor articulation of the Yamuna argument or \u201che would have to face strong resistance from the people led by the SAD .\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Badal said that Amarinder\u2019 act of dilution was dictated by the memory of his handing over the shovel to Indira Gandhi to start the digging of the SYL canal at Kapoori. \u201c Amarinder had in fact led the campaign for building SYL for Haryana. When he was handing a silver shovel to Indira Gandhi, Akali leaders were protesting and being shoved into police vans to be put behind bars. We were called anti-national for demanding our own water,\u201d, \u201c said Sardar Sukhbir Singh Badal<\/p>\n

Mr Badal expressed his fears that Amarinder\u2019s bold words do not cover his dilution of Punjab\u2019s stand.<\/p>\n

The former Deputy CM also lashed out at Amarinder for running away from facing the Vidhan Sabha when Punjabis were facing such crucial issues. \u201cHere was the strongest case for the people\u2019s representatives to speak in one voice on the vital interests of the state. But by curtailing the Assembly Session to just a single day, Captain has denied the opportunity to the people to send a strong message to the rest of the nation on the dangers implicit in any move towards constructing the so-called SYL canal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
