DW BUREAU / chandigarh Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal today condemned Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MPs from Punjab for leaving all issues of Punjab and acting like bonded slaves of AAP Convener Arvind Kejriwal by holding repeated protests in parliament to highlight the delay in giving permission to their boss to visit Singapore. In a statement here, the Bathinda MP said it was shocking that the AAP MPs of Punjab were expressing solidarity with the failed Delhi Model but were refusing to hold any protest against allotment of land to Haryana in Chandigarh which had compromised Punjab's right over the union territory. "Similarly AAP MPs have chosen to remain quiet on Haryana's conspiracy to rob Punjab of its river waters through the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal besides failing to protest against the proposal to convert Panjab University into a central varsity." Terming the conduct of the AAP MPs as a classic case of pure slavery, Mrs Harsimrat Badal said the Punjab AAP unit and its chief minister Bhagwant Mann had sold out the interests of Punjab to the party high command and the party's MPs were following a similar line. "Earlier we have witnessed the signing of a purported Knowledge Sharing Agreement between the Punjab and Delhi governments which effectively gave charge of 16 departments in Punjab to the Delhi government. We have also witnessed the formation of an Advisory Board which has made party MP Raghav Chadha a super chief minister. We have also witnessed the chief minister surrendering the rights of Punjab over Chandigarh to Haryana at the instance of the AAP high command." Badal said AAP and its Punjab MPs may have forsaken Punjab but the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) would do its utmost to strive to get all pending issues of the State resolved. "We are leading protests tomorrow to demand the release of the Sikh detenues including Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana besides demanding Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal sign the release orders of Prof Devinderpal Singh Bhullar which are lying on this desk for eight months now. We will raise these issues in parliament also," she added. (editor@dailyworld.in)
