Hoshiarpur: Dal Khalsa today took a dig at the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) for announcing the digging of the controversial SYL canal by marching towards Punjab on 23 February, calling the move announced by its leader Abhay Singh Chautala nothing but a political mischief and stunt.
Party leaders H S Dhami and Kanwar Pal Singh said the people of Punjab would not allow any mischief and misadventure by any one at any cost.
Taking a jibe at the Chautala’s, they said, “the Chautala’s were friends with the Badal family and both have played havoc in a sinister way over the years. Even now, Chautala’s know that the present rulers in Punjab, who are virtually on their way out, will not “welcome” them with batons and bullets, which are reserved for farmers, teachers, unionists, students, pharmacists and devout Sikh protesters”, they pointed out.
“INLD in its various avtars has been hand in glove with the Badals to side track the issues and attempt to overawe Sikhs”, said they.
They said digging of SYL canal was next to impossible and people of Haryana should stop day-dreaming over its construction. They said notwithstanding all the legal steps that the Congress and the Badal Dal may have taken in recent times, the credit for stopping the construction of the SYL in 1992 goes to Sikh freedom fighters who laid down their lives while defending the river waters of Punjab. “Dal Khalsa was determined to ensure that their sacrifice does not go in vain”, said both.
