Canal row : Haryana MLAs demonstrate outside Punjab Assembly
The INLD MLAs raised slogans against the governments in Punjab and Haryana and demanded that the Bill be withdrawn
"Punjab has back-stabbed the people of Haryana by passing this de-notification. No one in history has taken such an unconstitutional step," Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) leader Abhay Chautala, who led the group, told the media.
"We metP unjab Assembly Speaker Charanjit Singh Atwal in his room in the complex and lodged our protest against the Bill passed by the House."
"If a need arises, INLD will mobilise its workers and proceed to the border with Punjab with implements to again dig up the under construction SYL canal being flattened by the people in Punjab," Chautala said.
The Punjab assembly unanimously passed a resolution to de-notify the 3,928 acres of land where the canal was passing in the state and asked farmers from whom it was taken to reclaim it.
