Cong MLAs’ resignation a gimmick, says CM Ambala, July 18 He said the Congress MLAs had submitted their resignation to their party president which was nothing but a gimmick. He said if they were really concerned at the act of the Punjab Government, they should have tendered their resignations to the Speaker of the Haryana Assembly. Mr Chautala alleged that the Union Government was weak and it could not take action against the Punjab government for “dishonouring” the Constitution. He said Mr Amarinder Singh had taken this harsh decision with the consent of the Union Government and the President of the Congress, Ms Sonia Gandhi. Criticising the Haryana Congress, he said the Congress leaders were asking him to summon a party meeting on the issue but a month back when he had summoned a party meeting on the SYL issue, the MLAs of the Congress and the HVP had boycotted the meeting. Asked whether his government would cancel the Yamuna water accord if the Punjab Government did not comply with the Supreme Court order on the SYL canal, he said the people of Haryana would definitely react over the “unconstitutional” action of the Punjab Government. |

blackmarketing. |
