“As far as legal steps are concerned, advocate will advise us on what can be legally done,” CM Badal said.

Badal, Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal and Cabinet colleagues maintained that, “The SYL canal will not be allowed to be built at any cost and not a single brick will be laid.”

A special session of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha has been convened on November 16 to discuss the future course of action in the wake of the SC verdict.

Holding former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi responsible for the SYL canal row, they said she did this all drama as elections were to be held in Haryana.

Capt Amarinder was with her when she laid the foundation stone of the canal, they said.

A huge gathering will be held in Moga on December 8 to mobilise people.
