Taunt on AAP MP and Punjab minister:

BJP's tweet- Yo Haryana is Tau, will take the water of its right

On the issue of SYL, the Haryana government is going to file a Contempt of Court petition in the Supreme Court. On the other hand, Haryana BJP has retaliated against the statement of Minister Harpal Cheema of the AAP government in Punjab. Haryana BJP taunted and said that after seeing the mill of falsehood, Diya Kabira ROI. Between the two dumps, there is nothing left or nothing left. Sushil Gupta Ji's Chinese Marka Guarantee and Bhagwant Mann's extremism about SYL - Regionalism. Just Seduction from your side is guaranteed. Yo Haryana is Tau will take the water of his right.

Let us inform you that Punjab Minister Harpal Cheema had said on SYL that not a drop of water will be allowed to go out of Punjab. Whatever sacrifice has to be made, you will sacrifice your life, but you will not let a drop go out. Whereas in Haryana MP and AAP in-charge Sushil Gupta is repeatedly saying that SYL water will be brought in 2024 when the AAP government comes to power in Haryana. You will have governments in both the states and we will guarantee water.

Preparing to put the Contempt of Court

Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij had confirmed the preparations to put the Contempt of Court in the Supreme Court and said that we will take our rights. At the same time, Haryana Minister Kanwarpal Gurjar had also expressed displeasure over the attitude of the Punjab government and said that they are asking for water not extra.

this is the dispute

Before the partition between India and Pakistan, the additional waters of Ravi and Beas were allocated by contract. On 19 September 1960, 7.20 MAF was allocated to Punjab, 8.00 MAF to Rajasthan, and 0.65 MAF to Jammu and Kashmir. At the time of the separation of Haryana from Punjab, there was no sharing of water between the two states.

On March 24, 1976, the central government issued a notification for the first time fixing 3.5 MAF of water for Haryana. There was an agreement to give the water of the SYL canal to Haryana. The new contract was signed on 13 December 1981, the quantity of water was fixed for Punjab at 4.22, Haryana at 3.50, Rajasthan at 8.60, Delhi at 0.20 MAF, and Jammu and Kashmir at 0.65 MAF.

On 8 April 1982, Indira Gandhi inaugurated the canal excavation work near Kapuri village in Patiala. The situation in Punjab deteriorated due to the protests. The Rajiv-Longowal Pact was signed on 24 July 1985. Punjab agreed to build a canal. An engineer was shot dead during the excavation of the SYL canal.

Haryana filed a petition in the Supreme Court in 1996 when the settlement did not work out. Punjab introduced this resolution in the assembly for the 7th time in 56 years. Punjab also passed a resolution in 1967, 1970, 1978, 1985, 1986, and 2014 while Haryana passed a resolution on SYL 5 times from 2000 till now.

The court also issued orders to the Punjab government to build a canal, but instead of building a canal, Punjab bridged the canal and returned the land to the farmers by passing a resolution in the assembly. On 1 April 2022, the Punjab Legislative Assembly passed a resolution expressing the authority of Punjab over Chandigarh and sent it to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Haryana has condemned the passing of the resolution in the assembly and has said that it is and will remain the joint capital of both states. The Haryana government called a special session of the Legislative Assembly and presented a censure motion against Punjab and retained its authority over Chandigarh.
