Cancel CBI clean chit to Congress leader Tytler, says HS Phoolka
2016-11-15 News,
Throwing a challenge at the Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, the Aam Aadmi Party has demanded his resignation on the issue of the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal.
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, AAP leader and senior Supreme Court lawyer Harvinder Singh Phoolka said the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Congress were indulging in a “grand drama” over the issue and it was high time their bluff was called.
He said the two parties had been responsible for the construction of the canal and bringing the situation to a passé. “It is their doing and they should undo it. The SAD is in power and the chief minister should resign over the issue,” said Phoolka.
He said the AAP had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding the withdrawal of the Presidential Reference on SYL Canal. “In case the Presidential Reference is not withdrawn within a week, the CM Punjab should resign on moral grounds. He should accept his helplessness in saving Punjab waters,” said Phookla. Accompanied by AAP’s manifesto chairman Kanwar Sandhu and legal cell in-charge HS Shergill, Phoolka gave details of how the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had laid the foundation of the canal and Badal government had acquired land for it.http://www.hindustantimes.com/punjab/ensure-withdrawal-of-prez-reference-on-syl-or-resign-aap-to-cm/story-KRxIbVpLIXVktOhmVAYx1M.html
