Shiromani Akali Dal today asked Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to clear his stand on his own Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak’s demand for SYL water for Haryana even as the party asked the CM that before calling opposition parties for a debate he should hold a debate with his Haryana AAP unit on SYL canal issue.

Addressing a press conference here today, SAD Legal Wing President Arshdeep Singh Kler said the Punjab CM first provided Ministerial Kothi No. 964 to Haryana AAP unit team for demanding construction of SYL canal and ensuring water supply for Haryana and now he is silent on statement of his own Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab Sandeep Pathak who has publicly advocated supply of SYL water for Haryana. He asked CM on how a Punjab Rajya Sabha MP can demand water for Haryana from SYL and why he was silent on the issue ?

Advocate Kler said that Bhagwant Mann should demand immediate suspension of the MP from the party while forwarding his case to Rajya Sabha secretariat for his suspension and subsequently declaring his seat vacant for opposing Punjab’s rights in the country.
