Punjab to defy Supreme Court order in water war with Haryana
The state assembly on Friday passed a resolution moved by Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, which said that it "would not abide by any order against its interests on water."
The Supreme Court had on Thursday stopped Punjab from returning till March 30 nearly 4000 acres of land acquired for the Sutlej-Yamuna canal to farmers.
The opposition Congress and the Akalis, who govern Punjab in a coalition with the BJP, have combined to clear legislation to give back the land.
