In a post on X, he hit them if they (Opposition leaders) had any shame or not in raising the issue of SYL when Devi lal, former CM of Haryana praised Prakash Singh Badal for allowing the survey for construction of SYL. He also said that Balram Jakhar, father of Sunil Jakhar along with former CM captain Amarinder Singh was also seen in the picture taken during foundation laying stone of SYL Canal.
He added that as a child he used to watch over the water channels in his village, and even today, he had been assigned the duty to protect the Sutlej. He even challenged opposition leaders for an open debate On November 1, which marks as Punjab Day. He said that they should come prepared to tell how their forefathers sacrificed Punjab.
As per reports, the Punjab government has already booked Tagore Theatre in Chandigarh for the debate on November 1.
