Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today warned that people of the state will not allow a single extra drop of water to flow to any other state.

He said, what has been the rightful due of Haryana has already been provided. The state cannot seek extra water when Punjab was itself short of it.

The PCC president demanded that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann must call an emergency all-party meeting to devise an effective strategy to save Punjab’s water.

Referring to the AAP announcement of holding protests and dharnas, he observed, it was just a drama aimed at diverting public attention. “When you are in government, why do you need to stage any dharna?” he asked the AAP.

Warring said, there was no reason for Haryana to seek extra water when it already had its share. “We cannot let our own state go dry to provide water to others,” he observed, while assuring full support and cooperation to the government to deal with the situation.

The PCC president accused the AAP government of hypocrisy, pointing out that it had a secret understanding with the BJP, which was exposed when it unleashed a reign of terror on the peacefully protesting farmers.

“When you already have such an understanding with the BJP, why do you need to enact the drama of protests?” he asked the AAP leadership, while warning it against any compromise or surrender of Punjab’s water to any other state.
