Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, former Union minister and president of Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt), wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the Governor, being the UT Administrator, intended to exchange some land with Haryana. “Chandigarh belongs to Punjab because when the capital was shifted from Lahore to Chandigarh, it was established by uprooting Punjab villages,” Dhindsa wrote.
