ਪੰਜਾਬ Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring has urged ਮੁੱਖ ਮੰਤਰੀ Bhagwant Mann to make a strong plan to protect ਪੰਜਾਬ’s water, saying the state “cannot be allowed to go dry.” He said Haryana has already received its fair share of water, and ਪੰਜਾਬ cannot afford to give more.
Warring offered full support to the ਸਰਕਾਰ to handle the situation caused by the Bhakra Beas Management Board’s decision to release 8,500 cusecs of water to Haryana. However, he criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for staging protests and sit-ins over the issue, calling them a “drama” to mislead ਲੋਕ.
He questioned why AAP was protesting when it is in power and accused the party of having a secret deal with the BJP. He said this was clear when the ਸਰਕਾਰ removed farmers from protest sites at the Haryana border.
Warring warned the AAP ਸਰਕਾਰ not to surrender ਪੰਜਾਬ’s water to any other state.
