Shergill, who was also\u00a0accompanied\u00a0by AAP&#8217;s\u00a0spokesperson, Kultar Singh, was\u00a0referring to the newspaper reports published\u00a0prominently\u00a0in section of the media which\u00a0clearly\u00a0said how the Modi led centre government had taken an anti Punjab stand on Punjab&#8217;s river water issues.\u00a0 Shergill said\u00a0Solicitor\u00a0General Ranjit Kumar\u00a0representing\u00a0the Union government in the Supreme Court has\u00a0categorically\u00a0supported\u00a0the cause of Haryana and Rajasthan and their right over the Punjab&#8217;s river waters. The\u00a0Solicitor\u00a0General also argued that\u00a0since\u00a0Rajasthan is the part of Indus River Water Basin hence the desert state has every right over the Punjab river waters.\u00a0 The\u00a0Solicitor\u00a0General also\u00a0vehemently\u00a0opposed the Punjab Termination of Waters Agreement Act and\u00a0categorically\u00a0supported the\u00a0construction\u00a0of Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal. Shergill said Badal and his party has no moral right to stay in\u00a0alliance with the BJP at the centre if he had even an iota of respect and affection for the people of Punjab he should apologise and ask his daughter-in-law and union\u00a0cabinet\u00a0minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal to resign\u00a0immediately.\u00a0 &#8220;In fact the stand taken by the centre in the\u00a0apex\u00a0court clearly shows that Badal is hand in glove with the BJP and playing a fixed match with the saffron party. Badal&#8217;s sympathy towards the cause of Punjab river waters as well as for the farmers of the state is only\u00a0superficial. Badal&#8217;s\u00a0failure\u00a0to impress upon Harsimrat to quit Modi government\u00a0would\u00a0only be considered\u00a0treacherous\u00a0by the\u00a0people\u00a0of Punjab\u00a0&#8220;, said Shergill.\u00a0 Shergill said this is not the first time the union\u00a0government\u00a0had taken an anti- Punjab stand on its river waters in the\u00a0apex\u00a0court.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Earlier also the BJP led Union Government had filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court \u201cfavoring an early completion of the SYL canal\u201d. Kultar Singh said while senior Badal had been saying that the state had \u2018not a drop of water to share\u2019, Harsimrat Kaur Badal stood by Modi government\u2019s stand against Punjab. Singh said Harsimrat should have stood up against the NDA\u2019s affidavit in the SC favoring the construction of the SYL canal if the Badals were serious on protecting the state\u2019s interests. AAP is of the firm opinion that Ranjit Kumar has only conveyed the collective opinion of the Modi cabinet to the constitutional bench hearing the SYL matter. Since Harsimrat is a member of the cabinet as a nominee of Shiromani Akali Dal, it is presumed that the stand taken by the Modi government favouring early completion and construction of the SYL canal is with the concurrence of the SAD and the Badal government, Kultar said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AAP demands Badal to\u00a0apologise\u00a0and ask Harsimrat Badal to quit
