SAD calls for clarity from Bhagwant Mann on SYL water rights

In a dramatic turn of events, Karnail Singh Peer Mohammad, the General Secretary and Spokesperson of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), has openly challenged Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s endorsement of Sushil Kumar from Kurukshetra in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. Peer Mohammad’s assertions shed light on what he perceives as glaring double standards within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

Pointing to the conflicting stance of Sushil Kumar, a former Rajya Sabha member, Peer Mohammad highlighted Kumar’s past advocacy for Haryana’s interests in the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal dispute, which favored diverting water from the SYL canal to Haryana. This inconsistency raises questions about AAP’s credibility, prompting Peer Mohammad to demand clarity from Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann regarding his support for Sushil Kumar and its implications for Punjab’s water resources.

In a public statement, Peer Mohammad urged Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to offer a sincere explanation to the people of Punjab concerning these political contradictions. He stressed the importance of determining whether Punjab’s water rightfully belongs to its own people or to Haryana, emphasizing the need for transparent leadership on this critical issue.

Peer Mohammad emphasized that the people of Punjab are becoming increasingly discerning and will not be misled by what he sees as the deceptive strategies of AAP. He asserted that only SAD, as a regional party dedicated to representing Punjabi interests, can effectively advocate for the welfare of the state at this pivotal moment.

As election fervor intensifies, Peer Mohammad underscored the importance of ethical governance and an unwavering commitment to serving Punjab’s best interests, reiterating SAD’s steadfast dedication to the people of Punjab.
