CM, SPEAKER TO MEET SHAH ON NEW ASSEMBLY BUILDING
Haryana has 40 percent share in the assembly building but the state is getting only 27 percent. When Haryana was separated from Punjab, it was decided that Punjab would get 60 percent and Haryana would get the rest of the share, but this did not happen. Regarding this, Speaker Gyanchand Gupta told in the conversation that Punjab is not fulfilling the duty of being a big brother. The part which belongs to Haryana is not being given.
In such a situation, we have written to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah to give land for the construction of a new assembly and also give allowance for the construction of the same.
Chief Minister Manohar Lal has also written a letter to the Centre. It is expected that soon the CM and Speaker will meet Amit Shah regarding the matter. He said that work is also being done in the direction of new eassembly.
FARMERS’ MOVEMENT IS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED: DALAL
Agriculture Minister JP Dalal also participated in the program, talking about the farmers’ protest he said that it is politically motivated. “The opposition Congress party does not want the movement to end. They are completely against the farmers and are provoking them. All the Jathedars who are sitting on dharna on the border are on dharna at the behest of Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder and Congress. Amarinder Singh asked the farmers not to sit on dharna in Punjab, but in Delhi and Haryana,” he added.
JP Dalal also said that it is clear from the statement of the Captain that he is using the farmers for his political gains.
