Modi Government\u2019s Assault on Punjab\u2019s Rights Shameful; Battle to Protect Punjab\u2019s Water Will Endure: Dr. Baljit Kaur<\/strong><\/p>\n

Punjab\u2019s Voice Will Forever Echo for the Rights of Its Water, Farmers, and Workers: Dr. Baljit Kaur<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Chandigarh, May 1:<\/p>\n

\n

Terming the move by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Central Government to deprive Punjab of its rightful share of river waters as utterly condemnable, Punjab\u2019s Social Security, Women and Child Development Minister, Dr. Baljit Kaur, said this step goes against the very principles of democracy and federalism.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

She said water is the lifeline of Punjab, and the backbone of this state are its hardworking farmers and labourers who rely entirely on it for agriculture and livelihood.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Marking International Labour Day today, Dr. Baljit Kaur strongly criticized the Centre\u2019s attempt to divert Punjab\u2019s rightful water share to other states, calling it a clear betrayal and an act of backstabbing the people of Punjab.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u201cThis is not the first time such injustice has been inflicted upon Punjab. The Modi Government has consistently adopted an anti-Punjab stance, ignoring the rightful demands and sentiments of our people,\u201d she asserted.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Dr. Baljit Kaur emphasized that Punjab, being an agrarian state, cannot afford to lose even a drop of its water. The farmers and labourers of Punjab have always raised their voice against any injustice and will never tolerate this exploitation.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

She further said this decision is not just an attack on Punjab, but an outright assault on the farmers and labourers of the entire nation. \u201cWe will oppose this treacherous policy of the Central Government tooth and nail. The fight for Punjab\u2019s water and rights will continue relentlessly at every platform,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n
