Punjab Cabinet Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian today strongly opposed the BJP’s desperate efforts to snatch water from Punjab through the BBMB and said that the state government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann will not tolerate this robbery at any cost. In a press statement today, Mundian said that the Centre and the BJP governments of Delhi and Haryana have conspired against Punjab to snatch Punjab’s precious water resource. He said that BJP will not be allowed to succeed in its cowardly plans and for this, whatever measures the government has to take will be undertaken. He also challenged the Punjab BJP leaders to clarify their stand and questioned their silence on this matter, calling it stabbing the State of Punjab in the back.
Cabinet Minister Mundian said that the Central government and the neighbouring state of Haryana have already tried to rob Punjab’s rights. Centre government has damaged Punjab’s industrial sector by giving concessions to neighbouring states. Now they have tried to rob the rights of the riparian state, and such nefarious designs will not be allowed to succeed. He said that the State Government is committed to protecting the waters of Punjab and no one’s interference in this matter will be tolerated.
