Later in 1960 with the Indus Water Treaty, which diverted 80% of Punjab\u2019s river waters to Pakistan. He also highlighted how subsequent agreements\u2014like the Punjab Reorganization Act (1966), the Tripartite Agreement (1981), and arbitrary assessments\u2014further robbed Punjab of its rightful share.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Punjab has been betrayed repeatedly\u2014whether it was Congress or BJP government at the Centre. They have always treated Punjab as a milking cow, taking our water and grain but giving nothing in return, Mr. Aman Arora said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He pointed out that despite Punjab being a riparian state, non-riparian states like Haryana and Rajasthan were unlawfully given Punjab\u2019s water, violating international riparian laws. In 1955, Punjab\u2019s water assessment was 15.85 MAF, but by 1981, it was artificially increased to 17.17 MAF just to justify giving more water to Haryana and Rajasthan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr. Aman Arora also slammed the Shiromani Akali Dal for its role in weakening Punjab\u2019s stand, recalling how the Badal-led government had demanded Rs 3 crore for the construction of SYL canal on July 4, 1978 despite knowing the fact that it\u2019s against Punjab&#8217;s rights. On March 31, 1979, SAD government happily received Rs 1 crore sent by Haryana for the construction of SYL and signed Punjab\u2019s death warrant. Later accepted the Tripartite Agreement in March 1981 under pressure of Congress led Governments in Centre, Rajasthan and Haryana, he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Praising Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann\u2019s firm stance against releasing additional water to Haryana, Mr. Aman Arora said, &#8220;Punjab has no extra water to give. We will not bow down to pressure from Delhi or Haryana.&#8221; He urged all political parties to come united, warning that Punjab\u2019s survival is at stake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calling for a long-term solution, Mr. Aman Arora demanded the cancellation of all unjust water-sharing agreements and strict adherence to riparian principles. &#8220;If Rajasthan can be denied Narmada waters for not being a basin state, why is Punjab forced to give its waters to non-riparian states?&#8221; he questioned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr. Aman Arora said, &#8220;Punjab feeds the nation, but its own children are left parched. Enough is enough\u2014we will not let this betrayal continue.&#8221; He urged all the political parties to stand united to ensure that Punjab\u2019s voice is heard loud and clear at the centre level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CONGRESS OR BJP AT CENTRE, PUNJAB ALWAYS FACED BETRAYAL, SAYS AMAN ARORA AAP State President slams Centre Govt\u2019s for harming Punjab\u2019s interests Chandigarh, May 5: Launching a scathing attack at BJP led Centre and Haryana Government of &#8220;putting a knee on Punjab\u2019s neck&#8221; and looting its rightful share of water for decades, State President of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44302,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
